The Ultimate Summer Camp For Kids...And Adults

Family vacations can be tricky. How to please the adults and the kids, plus balance together time with some alone time can make your vacation seem like, well, work.

Some things your family members all probably agree upon in a destination may include beaches, pools, sun … Legos.

Sure, Legos and kids go hand-in-hand like sand and surf, and really, it was just a matter of time before someone combined them. The Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas made the first move and brilliantly partnered with Lego Systems to offer the brand-new Lego Atlantis Fantasy Camp this summer.

Three five-day sessions, July 12-16, July 19-23 and July 26-30, for kids ages 6-12, are available. The camp includes, among other things, beach Olympics, a resort-wide scavenger hunt, access to the new 8,000-square-foot Atlantis Kid’s Adventures (AKA) club, daily lunch, an ice cream social, a shallow water dolphin interaction, and most importantly, kids get to build and learn from a Lego Master Builder (there are only 40 in the world!). Of course, they’ll go home with all sorts of Lego paraphernalia too.

Adults can enjoy some guilt-free time soaking up the sun, but if you grew up playing with Legos, you may just be a little envious of your offspring.
