More Than Just a Camp
A Brain-Boosting Experience
Summer is the perfect time to recharge and grow. We don't just fill hours; we design experiences that nurture the whole child, socially, emotionally, and cognitively.
True Connection (Low Ratios): With strictly capped groups of 16, your child isn't just a number. They receive personalized mentorship and build meaningful friendships in a safe, uncrowded space.
Cognitive Growth: Whether it's the logic of Brain Camp or the biology of Botany, every activity is designed to strengthen executive functions like focus, memory, and problem-solving.
Active "Learning by Doing": No boring activities here. We believe development is built through movement, sensory exploration, and hands-on creation
Emotional Wellbeing: Our "facilitator" approach fosters a stress-free environment where children feel confident to take risks, make mistakes, and discover new passions.
Who Thrives at Developing Minds?
Our Summer Camps are designed for families who want more than a "parking lot" for their children. This program is the perfect fit for:
-
The Curious Explorer: Children who love to ask "Why?", build with their hands, or dig in the dirt.
-
The Creative Thinker: Kids who enjoy solving puzzles, inventing stories, and thinking outside the box.
-
The Sensitive Soul: Children who flourish in smaller, calmer environments rather than loud, chaotic mega-camps.
-
The Conscious Parent: Families who value high-quality education, safety, and screen-free engagement during the summer break.

About Developing Minds Learning Center
Located in the heart of Lake Nona, we are not a traditional school—we are a movement. Founded by Mariana Carazo, an expert in curriculum and play-based pedagogy, Developing Minds was born from a single mission: Rethinking Education.
We are a Learning Center that bridges the gap between neuroscience and the classroom. We serve homeschooling families and after-school students with a philosophy that respects the child's natural pace. We believe that when a child feels safe and happy, learning happens naturally.
"We don't prepare them for tests. We prepare them for life."
Where are we located? Lake Nona, Orlando
