One of Key Biscayne\u2019s most popular summer offerings is at Motivating Minds, which returns this summer with a mission to keep young minds sharp and active.<\/p>\n
Whether your child is a toddler taking their first steps into social play or a high schooler preparing for college applications, the 2026 summer lineup offers a tiered approach to enrichment that goes far beyond the typical camp experience.<\/p>\n
Elementary & Creative Tracks<\/p>\n
For elementary students, the day is divided into a choose-your-own-adventure format. During the morning sessions (9 a.m.-Noon), campers can explore passions like cooking, Hip-Hop dance, sewing, drawing or sports. Tech-enthusiasts can instead opt for the Minds of Tomorrow Robotics and Coding track, a full-day immersive STEM program (9 a.m.-3 p.m.) for ages 3\u201312 that focuses on the “minds of tomorrow.”<\/p>\n
In the afternoons, the focus shifts to the popular Brain Boost Fun Academics program. Designed to prevent “summer slide,” this interactive session uses gamified learning, such as math bingo, money-counting roleplay, and crossword puzzles, with a goal to reinforce core skills. For students needing a bit more focused attention, 1:1 support in reading and math is also available.<\/p>\n
Toddler & Teen Offerings<\/p>\n
New for this season is the Toddler Play track (ages 2\u20134), providing a gentle introduction to a camp environment from 9 a.m.-Noon. Meanwhile, the Middle & High School tracks have been revamped to focus on critical life skills.<\/p>\n
These sessions include:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Find Your Path: Resume building and interview prep for teens.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0Executive Functioning: Strategies for organization and self-regulation.<\/p>\n
\u2022\u00a0SAT Prep: Intensive classes for college-bound students.<\/p>\n
The Motivating Minds Key Biscayne camp runs for eight weeks, from June 9-Aug. 1. The sessions take place at their Key Biscayne location on the 2nd floor of the Truist Bank building at 520 Crandon Blvd. True to tradition, every Friday is a celebration with pizza and waterplay for all attendees.<\/p>\n
Early bird registration is available for those who book before the March 1 deadline.<\/p>\n
