Bricks 4 Kidz LEGO Summer Camp - Gorey

At Gorey · Gorey, Co. Wexford

Children building with LEGO at summer camp

A week-long LEGO summer camp run by Bricks 4 Kidz Wexford, designed for children aged 5 to 12 who like building things and want something more structured than a screen at home. The programme blends STEM learning - science, technology, engineering and maths - with hands-on play using LEGO bricks, motors and remote controls. Sessions run from 10am in Gorey town, which makes the drop-off easy for families across north Wexford and south Wicklow.

What to expect

Each day children work through themed building projects and engineering challenges, either individually or in small groups. The approach is based on the international Bricks 4 Kidz curriculum, which uses LEGO as the medium to explore real STEM concepts - how motors work, why structures need to be stable, how you programme a simple machine to move. It is not a free-play session; there is a loose lesson plan behind the bricks, which suits children who like a bit of direction. The age spread of 5 to 12 is wide, but the projects tend to be tiered so younger children are not expected to keep pace with older builders. Organisers are Bricks 4 Kidz Wexford, who run camps across the county throughout the summer - Gorey is one of several locations. Pricing is not published upfront; contact them directly via the website to confirm the week’s cost, session length and exactly what to bring.

Getting there

Gorey sits on the N11 / M11 corridor between Dublin and Wexford town, roughly an hour south of the capital by car and about 40 minutes from Wexford. It is one of the better-served towns on the Dublin-Rosslare rail line, with Irish Rail operating regular services from Connolly and Pearse stations - a useful option for families coming from the city. Within the town, parking is available on Esmonde Street and in the pay-and-display bays around the main street; bring coins for the machines.

While you’re in Gorey

If you are dropping off and have time to fill, the town park is a short walk from the main street and has a playground, skatepark and activity course. Courtown, with its blue-flag beach and woodland walks, is ten minutes north by car - a good afternoon option if the weather holds. There is more to see in Gorey and across Co. Wexford.
