This Summer, we have an exciting program of activities for children from 4 to 14 as well as both in-person and online summer camp options.
Please note that this page is dedicated to our in-person summer camps so please click on the button below if you'd like more information about our online camps.
Perfect for 4 to 6 year olds who are intrigued by technology, robotics and lego.
Designed for 7 to 9 year olds, our program provides key science, coding & robotics activities in a fun environment
An incredible program for 10 to 14 year olds that takes students through key stages of life from planning and budgeting for university through to saving, investing and buying a home!
Harvard-style approach for 10 to 14 year olds using real-life case studies to illustrate key business principles such as branding, marketing, supply & demand, business ethics and more!
From software to coding, this program (for 10 to 14 year olds) not only shows students how passwords can be hacked but how to implement real tactics to help them to protect themselves from online harm.
This program runs in multiple age groups with differing levels of difficulty highlighting the importance of this topic. How can science and technology work together to protect the earth? Our students will find out!
As students living in Dubai, children have a lot to be thankful for and much of this stems from the hard work of those around them. Embedded in our programs for younger children we teach mindfulness practices and gratitude to drive greater balance.
The best selling toy EVER is so hard to master that only 5% of those who've owned one can complete it! We'll attempt to increase this figure during our camps this summer as we teach our 7 year olds and older how to master the Rubik's cube!

Our all-inclusive prices are shown below. We also offer sibling or group discounts as well as a reduced fee if you register your child(ren) for multiple weeks of camp.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.

Whether you are a family, a school or a corporation our mission is to work with as many like minded people to deliver STEM learning and life skills to as many children around the world as possible.
"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!''
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
