Oneida County 4-H Robo-Camp
ROBO-CAMP
DISCLAIMER:
The information provided on this page pertains to an event that has already ended for the 2026 year. Registration is currently closed and not available at this time. The current content is provided for reference purposes only. Details for the next session of the program will be published here as soon as they become available. Please check back in 2027 for updates.
We are excited and inspired by the overwhelming interest in the Oneida County 4-H Robo-Camp! It’s wonderful to see so many youth eager to explore robotics, technology, and hands-on learning.
2027 Dates TBD
For youth entering grades 4 & 5 (private/public/homeschool) in Oneida County
A one-week day camp where youth will be introduced to the world of Lego robotics, as well as coding, problem solving, teamwork, outdoor adventures, and more!
No experience necessary!
Robo‑Camp is designed to give as many youth as possible their first robotics experience. This camp prioritizes participants who have not attended before, and returning campers may be offered a spot if space becomes available.
(Parents, please note: While regular “free build” LEGO-building programs are excellent for nurturing creativity and imagination, 4-H robotics programs offer a more structured environment that encourages learners to stay focused on tasks for extended periods, experiment with different approaches, and persevere through challenges. If your child would do better with a “free play” Lego program, check out the excellent Lego programs offered by your local library!)
COST: TBD

WHAT TO BRING?
- Pack a lunch to bring each day!
- A refillable water bottle.
- Sunscreen & Bug Spray: Nicolet Area Technical College has a healthy mosquito population, so effective bug protection is important. We recommend bringing insect repellent that contains DEET, as natural sprays used in past years did not provide enough protection for student participants and staff ultimately needed to apply DEET-based spray. Please also pack sunscreen for outdoor activities!
- Rain gear
- A positive attitude!
- Youth will have the opportunity to explore Nicolet Campus during this camp and will engage in outdoor adventures. Please be sure they come to camp wearing comfortable clothes and shoes (closed-toe). No sandals are allowed at Robo-Camp!
In LEGO Robotics, students collaborate with peers, share ideas, contribute to group projects, and communicate effectively by expressing their thoughts and listening to others.
