Pirates Of Silicon Bay

The legend goes that a long time ago when the stormy waters of San Francisco Bay stretched as far south as Port Los Gatos, the seas were ruled by pirates... LEGO® Pirates! How did they navigate the treacherous waves of Silicon Bay? They mastered the technologies behind sailboats, speedboats, catamarans, amphibious vehicles, and even submarines! Note to parents: Our "bay" is a shallow inflatable pool with 3-4 inches of water, and as is the case with all of our camps, the campers are never left without staff supervision.
