Camp Brick is not a camp with tents and cook-outs; it revolves around Legos-building projects that involve kids with autism and neurotypical kids. Jennifer Thayer, mom of a four-year-old with autism, started Camp Brick in Tennessee after seeing a similar Legos “camp” in North Carolina. She purchased 100s of Legos sets - enough for a 6,500-piece replica of the Taj Mahal. Thayer and the camp counselors talk about scavenger hunts, imaginative building, and Legos Mindstorm robots to help the kids with socialization, focus, and motor skills. Thayer’s own son enjoys Legos as occupational therapy. While the traditional summer camp season has come to an end, Camp Brick will offer programs in the fall involving Legos and animation and Legos birthday parties.
