Spark your LEGO® lover’s imagination & build their confidence!
~ Bricks 4 Kidz still has spots open for kids ages 5 – 12 in their themed Summer Camps ~
I don’t know about you but I’ve found that my kids and their friends don’t just like LEGOS…they LOVE them! I have every confidence that if I dump our box of them out on the kitchen table, there will be hours of creating happening in our house!
Lori Pedroncelli, owner of East Sacramento Bricks 4 Kidz, knows this even better than I do from years of experience with her own kids and thousands of local Sacramento kids. She channels her LEGO® passion into fabulous after school programs, birthday parties, and summer camps.
When it comes to Lori’s summer camps, she plans exciting days in her Creativity Center for kids filled almost entirely with BUILDING and PLAYING. What could be better? Can you hear the squeals now? (When Lori told me that she even keeps a wall collection of 100 minifigures for camp kids to play with, I thought, oh my goodness, I can just imagine the kids’ awe-filled eyes!)
Kids already know how to build with LEGO® bricks, but with a little coaching they can learn engineering, architecture and concepts of physics and mathematics. Students will develop problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Bricks 4 Kidz Summer Camps provide a safe, relaxed learning environment where initiative is invited and self-expression is celebrated. All this takes place while kids are having fun and socializing in a non-competitive atmosphere!
Reasonable prices, awesome themes…check it out!

My love for exploring and creating experiences with my three kids led to the founding of SacramentoSidetracks.com in 2009. I realized that Sacramento has so much to offer and I was excited to share my findings with other parents. Besides simply having fun, these are the other positive side effects of taking my kids on outings that I’ve discovered: we have quality time together away from the distractions at home, we cultivate our curiosity, learn new things, conversations are triggered by what we see and do, we connect and bond as a family, and we create new memories. Ready to get sidetracked, too? Let me be your guide!
