We hear it all the time:

“My child lights up in Minecraft. They feel connected. Confident.”

That’s not accidental - it’s about feeling safe.

💡 Big creative wins

All led by neurodivergent mentors who truly understand neurodivergent needs.

All summer camps and drop-in clubs include access to Uncommon’s online community where neurodivergent kids connect, make friends, and explore shared interests.

If your child thrives in online worlds, this might be their summer sweet spot.

For so many neurodivergent kids, the school year is spent masking; hiding stims, forcing eye contact, pretending they’re not overwhelmed.

That’s why Uncommon summer camps are designed to feel like a real break.

Talk how they talk
Move how they move
Play how they love to play

No performance. No pressure. Just safe, creative spaces where they can breathe.

DnD, Minecraft, Video and Robot Camps are filling fast - reserve your spot today.

16/07/2025

Most camps start with a model and try to squeeze kids into it.

We started with the kids, and built camps around them.

That’s why our families come back again and again.

🌈 Calm afternoons (1–4pm)
🌈 Clear expectations and small groups
🌈 Creative play (not performance)
🌈 Staff who understand and listen

Because when neurodivergent kids feel seen, everything changes.

Our most popular camps; Minecraft and DnD, are filling fast. Join the summer where your child belongs.

15/07/2025

Did you know 20% of the population is neurodivergent?*

That’s one in five kids, and yet most summer camps still expect them to squeeze into one-size-fits-all routines.

At Uncommon, we do things differently:

✅ Calm, structured afternoons
✅ Familiar staff who get it
✅ Creative play that builds confidence

These aren’t just camps. They’re spaces where your t(w)een can show up exactly as they are, and feel safe doing it.

Limited spots left in Minecraft and DnD. Book now to save your space.
