The best Summer Camps in Dubai just got even better!

We have been selected by GEMS Education & Delta Skills Academy to offer in-school camps throughout Dubai

Our Summer Camp returns again for our 10th season this July, providing 7 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.

Summer Camp FAQs

What unique approaches do you incorporate in your teaching methodology to ensure students gain practical, real-world skills?

At Pure Minds Academy, we harness innovative technologies to captivate and engage young minds, ensuring each child is equipped with practical, real-world skills. Our teaching methodology emphasizes hands-on experiences, blending theory with active collaboration and adaptability to prepare students for future challenges. We go beyond traditional education by incorporating life skills like gratitude and mindfulness, alongside stimulating activities like the Rubik's Cube challenge to enhance spatial recognition and focus. Our approach ensures a holistic development, preparing children to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.

How do you tailor the camp experience to accommodate the varied developmental stages within each age group?

Our trainers are trained to provide differentiated learning experiences, grouping children based on their abilities rather than strictly by age. This approach allows instructors to tailor support and challenges according to each student's needs. It also offers opportunities for advanced learners to delve deeper into activities, ensuring that every child can thrive and explore at their own pace.

What makes Pure Minds Academy's summer camp stand out from other camps?

At Pure Minds Academy, our passion for teaching and innovative activities create an engaging and memorable experience that keeps kids coming back. Parents consistently praise our camp for its quality instruction, daily variety of projects, and focus on teamwork and creativity. One parent shared, "My daughter has attended many summer camps, and this is the only one she enjoyed." We strive to foster a love of learning and ensure each child looks forward to returning every day.

What should my child(ren) bring to the camp?

All the materials required for the camp activities will be provided by Pure Minds Academy including laptops and tablets, as required. You must send water bottle, snacks for the short break, and lunch for the lunch break. Food will not be provided.

What does a typical day at the camp look like?

Across all age groups, a typical camp day includes three exciting activities: a STEM challenge, a tech-based project (robotics, coding, or electronics), and a life skills/engineering activity. Children will also enjoy a 15-minute snack break and a 30-minute lunch break, giving them time to refuel and socialize while having fun!

Are there any prerequisites for attending the camp?

No prior experience or knowledge in STEM, robotics, and coding is required to join our camp. The camp is suitable for beginners as well as more experienced students. We ensure differentiated learning based on the student experience.

What is the student-to-instructor ratio?

To provide dedicated attention to every child, each group of ten students is guided by a trainer and a teaching assistant. Should the group size increase, we will assign an additional teaching assistant to maintain our commitment to personalized care. We cap group sizes at 20 to ensure quality supervision. Staff members are always present to supervise the children, and for our youngest participants, aged 4-6, a teaching assistant accompanies them to the washroom for added safety and support.

Can my child attend only certain weeks or days of the camp?

The activities at Pure Minds Academy are diverse and unique across all age groups, with different themes each week of each program to keep children motivated, challenged, and engaged. You can select any week or all the weeks of the camp, as there is no repetition of activities. For the 4-6 and 7-9 groups, we accept daily registrations. However, for the 10-14 group, we recommend registering for the full week to benefit from the progressive activities.

    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!

    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.

    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.
