FIRST Camp Guides
Is your team interested in hosting a fundraiser or outreach event this spring or summer? Would you like to use FIRST® LEGO® League or FIRST® Tech Challenge season materials to continue impacting younger generations?
Introduce your students to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) and life changing FIRST programs by hosting a FIRST Camp. Using the FIRST Camp resources as your guide, get ready for an unforgettable STEM adventure filled with hands-on learning and teamwork. Your campers will participate in age-appropriate robotics and coding activities that will ignite their curiosity throughout the week-long camp experience.
To run your camp, you’ll need access to FIRST LEGO League division or FIRST Tech Challenge materials. You can register for a FIRST Class Pack or utilize prior-season materials if you’ve recently participated in FIRST. Get your free camp guides here.
