2023 STEM Summer Camps in Dubai by Pure Minds Academy

The Best Summer Camp for Children in Dubai

Our Summer Camp returns again for our 9th season this July, providing 8 weeks of fun-filled activities for children aged 4 to 14 at various locations throughout Dubai.

We are proud to offer a wide variety of engaging and enriching programs for children aged 4 to 14, designed to ignite their curiosity, foster essential skills, and empower them with mindfulness and gratitude tools.

Our summer camp is a vibrant hub of learning and exploration where children can dive into the exciting worlds of STEM, robotics, coding, business, finance, and cybersecurity. Through our carefully crafted programs, we provide hands-on experiences, interactive projects, and expert guidance that stimulate creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities.

At Pure Minds Academy, we recognize the importance of holistically nurturing the child. That's why our summer camp also integrates mindfulness and gratitude practices into our curriculum. We believe that teaching children mindfulness techniques can help them develop self-awareness, emotional regulation, and resilience. Additionally, our gratitude exercises cultivate a sense of appreciation, empathy, and a positive mindset, fostering well-being and meaningful connections with others.

Programs run from 9:30am to 2pm, Monday to Friday. Please see our sample schedules below:

The only camp my daughter enjoyed

"The quality of teaching was very good and they clearly had a passion for teaching and contributing. My daughter has attended many summer camps over the years and this is the only one that she enjoyed. I would happily recommend STEM for Kids programs to other parents!''

Parent of one of our camp students
We hope to be back!

Lots of things to do and we hope to be back. Thank you to Miss Raghad and the other teachers who were very friendly, and sent through daily photos. Thanks very much.

Parent of one of our camp students
Great Experience!

Great experience! Positive everyday. Our son confident so we knew settling would be fine. But he enjoyed camp overall and is looking forward to attending again.

Parent of one of our camp students

Everything was perfect!

My boys really enjoyed going to the classes and could not wait to start each morning. The loved the building and programming - so much so that we struggled to get them out of the door each afternoon!

Parent of one of our camp students
The most valuable lesson was teamwork

My son enjoyed the coding and would come home and discuss the projects he worked on. I think he enjoyed working with the robots the most.

Parent of one of our camp students
She wanted to be prepared!

It was a really fun experience for my child. She looked forward to attending each day and before we left home, checked to see what was scheduled for the day to see if the experiment was possible! Every day she told us about what she had learned.
