Team 25 runs a 3 week long summer Lego camp/course for students entering the 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th grades. The first week we've covered the basics: building a base/drive train/gear ratios, and had activities such as drag racing and other simple tasks.

We then introduced the different sensors [light sensor/touch sensor] and had them make robots that did simple tasks such as following a line, or bumping into the wall and then turning around. We then made the challenges progressingly harder to include some activities such as making a robot that would drive up to a box, sense it, grab it, and pull it back to behind the starting line. We also held robot sumo matches [a big hit amongst the kids], and had a catapult/throwing challenge. We've done many other activites as well, aside from these. Feel free to contact me.

Hopefully this gave you a couple of ideas to implement into your program.
