Online summer holiday camps designed around your neurodivergent child
Small, low-pressure three days camps run by neurodivergent young adults who truly understand how to help ND kids game, create, and connect in their own way.
But fun doesn't stop with camp. By joining an Uncommon Camp you join an inclusive community for summer. All camps include 1 month access to Uncommon's safe online community, summer challenges, weekly gamers club and free Uncommon club sessions to help you find your tribe.
โ
With Minecraft, Roblox, Video, Creative and DnD Camps, Understanding My Brain and Transition to Secondary School courses - there’s something for every Uncommon mind.
Plus all Minecraft Campers enjoy 1 month of fun on our private server open 10am-8pm daily.
โ
All camps are inclusive of children who are autistic, ADHD, Dyslexic, Dyspraxic, SPD, PDA, Tourettes & more - we don't require a diagnosis.
3 days of camp and a summer of fun! Every camp includes online community access and 6 free club sessions

A uniquely supportive environment
Each camp runs across three days afternoons, online via Zoom. Your child can join with camera on or off, mic on or off, can speak or use messaging and can take part by watching along. We welcome and celebrate all communication styles.
Groups are small, just 6-12 young people, with amazing ratios of 3-4 kids per mentor. So we're truly able to tailor camps to every support need and passion.
Our mentors are young neurodivergent adults who share the experiences and passions of the young people they support.
They have a strong understanding of neurodivergent presentations, demand avoidance, rejection sensitivity and supporting those with anxiety. They bring thousands of hours experience running our weekly clubs, and know how to hold space for young people who’ve had difficult experiences in group settings before.
Plus they're amazing at creating inspiring, fun spaces where kids feel they belong!

What our families say
Patient and positive.
Taking part in clubs and the recent summer camp has been amazing for my son. The session leaders are incredibly positive, patient and above all inclusive. There’s never any pressure and they are so encouraging. The community is fantastic and shows such promise for growth.โ I cannot recommend Uncommon highly enough
My daughter got dressed up specially for the session (even though she wouldn't go on camera) this is the first time she's managed to participate in something with other children who are also neurodivergent. She's been feeling very isolated.
Three days of camp.
A whole summer of community.
Find your people this summer
Camp is just the beginning. Every Uncommon camper gets access to our safe, neurodivergent-affirming summer community — a place to keep creating, playing, sharing and connecting after camp ends.

๐ Find your people
Meet other young people who share your interests, humour, creativity and ways of communicating.
โ
๐จ Keep creating & playing
Join weekly gaming and social time in our Tuesday 6pm Video Gamers Community Club, take part in summer polls, Book Nook, exhibitions, sticker competitions and themed activities around characters, animals and adventures.
โจ Take on creative challenges
Every fortnight, we’ll release a new creative brief with inspiration and ideas to help young people keep making and sharing across the summer.
๐ Try more clubs
Campers also get two free Uncommon club sessions, so they can explore new activities or reconnect with familiar faces after camp.
โ
Young people can join in as much or as little as they like — whether that means sharing a creation, voting in a poll, joining a game, trying a club or quietly spending time in a community where they feel understood.

Camp is just the beginning.
For many neurodivergent young people, open-ended social groups can feel difficult.
Being told to “make friends” or “join in” can create pressure, especially if conversation does not come easily or past social experiences have been hard.
Roblox gives everyone something shared to focus on.
Young people can connect by playing the same game, helping each other, showing what they have made, laughing at funny moments or discovering that someone else loves the same thing they do.
They do not have to start with small talk. They can start with play.
โ
But we know that friendships and belonging rarely appear fully formed after one Zoom session — or even after three days.
โ
That is why Roblox campers also receive access to the wider Uncommon summer community after camp.
โ
This includes:
• Our weekly gaming and social club
• Summer community activities and creative challenges
• A safe online space to share interests, ideas and creations
• Free Uncommon club sessions after camp
• Opportunities to keep connecting with young people who share their interests
For children who have found other groups difficult, having a place where their interests are understood and their way of joining in is respected can be incredibly powerful.

How do I know which camp is right for my child?
Each camp is built around a specific game or activity, so the best starting point is your child's interests. If they love Minecraft, that's a great place to begin - if they're into Roblox, we have Action, Cosy and DnD options depending on their style of play. If you're not sure, just email us at hello@uncommonminds.co.uk and tell us a bit about your child - we'll recommend the best fit.
โโ
How do I know which camp is right for my child?
If your child needs to leave early or to miss a day, please just drop us a note us a note so our mentors are aware.
โ
What does my child need to take part?
โ
For all camps, your child will need a device to run Zoom - a laptop, desktop, tablet or phone all work well. For Minecraft camp specifically, they'll need a PC or Mac running Minecraft Java Edition. For Roblox camps, they can play from PC, Mac, tablet, phone or console (if using a console, they'll need a separate device for Zoom). We recommend testing everything at least a day before camp starts - email us if you need any help getting set up.
โ
How do I book?
Sessions are booked through the Momence app or using the links above. Once you've set up your account, you can browse available camps and book your child's place.
โ
Can I get a refund?
โ
We try to work really flexibly with our families and we know that things come up. Our camps sell out incredibly quickly and are very popular so please do give us as much notice as possible if you won't be able to attend.
