Boone’s Build Camp is geared toward people who have enjoyed building LEGO sets and may have done some creative building of their own, but this is not necessary. There is no age range here. The content of the camp is designed to help each participant build their own creativity and elevate their building skills. This can happen across a variety of ages and skill levels. We will include a modifications document for each day that will contain ideas for how to adapt the content for beginning builders as well as those with more advanced skills.

We expect anyone who loves building with LEGO to be able to enjoy any of our camps! You're welcome to purchase any or all camps at any time. We created "Boone's Build Camp 2020" as a great introduction to the world of creative building, therefore, we recommend that camp as a great place to start. However, it is not a pre-requisite to accessing the other camps. 

Camp updates, communication and portal links will be sent to the email address provided at registration. A device with internet connectivity is required to access the camp activities and materials in the “Build Camp Portal.” While the Build Camp Portal will function in any web browser, we recommend Chrome web browser for best functionality across all devices. Please make sure you perform software updates for any web browser you intend to use for camp.

All campers will receive multiple videos from Boone each day of the camp. Due to the volume of campers participating and various time zones all content will be available On-Demand as campers complete tasks. All interactions will be in written message form between Boone and the campers. While there won’t be live interactions between Boone and the participants, he will provide feedback and responses to each camper’s builds individually.  

Campers will be able to go back and view previous days’ content at any time. This can be helpful, since skills will build on each other throughout the camp.

No. We want to offer as much flexibility as possible! Any day of camp can be completed on a day that fits your schedule. For instance, if you sign up on a Monday, you'll get access to "Day 1" on that Monday, but you're welcome to wait to start "Day 1" until Tuesday or any other day of the week. 

No! While each camper will receive 3 or 6 consecutive days of content depending on the camp(s) purchased, all campers are welcome to complete days at their own pace. 

Any builder with a decent assortment of loose LEGO pieces should be able to enjoy this camp without additional purchases. However, if you would like to buy more LEGO pieces to have on hand, we recommend any “LEGO Classic” products, typically found in bright yellow boxes. These can be found at any major retailer or at LEGO.com. Also, if there is a Bricks and Minifigs, or other buy/sell/trade LEGO stores in your area, they can be a great source for getting pieces at a reasonable price.

This really depends on each individual builder. The video content is broken down into a series of short videos per day that guide the participant through a variety of tasks exploring their own creativity. Our mission is to lead campers into their own goal setting, planning, building, reflecting, and organizing each day. The time each camper spends on these tasks will depend on the amount of planning they do, and the size and complexity of what they choose to build during the challenges. Our goal is that campers will spend the majority of each camp session building and being creative, not watching a screen. You can certainly encourage your camper to add more detail, or expand their build if they seem to be completing them quickly

This will also depend on the age and skill level of the camper. Younger children may need some assistance with reading and writing, although all instructions are given verbally in the videos. When it comes to building, your family may decide how much assistance/independence is appropriate for your camper. Participants will likely be able to complete all the build activities independently, but you can certainly choose to work collaboratively as a family if desired. Parents who wish to access the modification document may need to go over these ideas with a beginning builder before they can proceed with their build independently.

Keeping the camp asynchronous or "On-Demand" has great benefits for camp organization and for the scheduling needs of individual families, but it presents some challenges when trying to incorporate any activities that are set at one concrete time. We're hoping to manage expectations based on what we can realistically offer everyone, so the FAQs above speak to that experience.
