Montgomery Bell Academy: On Your Mark...Get Set...Build!

This is MBA's LEGO-focused building camp, where kids spend their mornings working with hundreds of sets spanning themes like Star Wars, Ninjago, and CITY. It's a hands-on program centered on creative construction — campers build independently as well as in groups, with games and friendly contests mixed in throughout the week. The session wraps up with a family showcase, giving kids a chance to display what they've built. It's a good fit for kids ages 6 to 14 who love LEGO and want dedicated time to build beyond what's possible at home. The half-day format (9 a.m. to noon) works well for families who want to stack morning activities or aren't ready for a full day away. Four sessions run from late May through late July at MBA's campus on Harding Pike, with costs ranging from $210 to $260 per session. Families also explore Montgomery Bell Academy's Simple Machines & LEGO Gadgets, Fun with Robotics, and Battle Bots for similar hands-on STEM options at the same location.
