Online Minecraft summer & half-term camps designed around your neurodivergent child
Does your child live and breathe Minecraft? This summer, they can spend a whole week doing exactly that - building, exploring and creating alongside other kids who get it just as much as they do. And it doesn't end with camp, the price of camp includes 1 month's to our private servers for both Java and Bedrock* players. So after camp they can continue to play with new found friends.
In small, carefully managed groups, your child will collaborate with fellow Minecraft fans to dream up and build their own projects, contribute to epic group builds, and develop real creative and technical skills along the way - all inside the blocky world they already love.
Our camps are designed specifically for neurodivergent young people aged 8–14, with or without a diagnosis. Small groups mean more individual attention, less noise and overwhelm, and 100% neurodivergent mentors who genuinely understand how ND kids think, play and thrive. Whether your child is a seasoned builder or still finding their style, they'll be met exactly where they are.
It's the summer activity that feels like fun and works like magic - and at some of the best value prices around, it's one of the easiest yeses you'll make this summer. Spaces are limited and weeks fill up fast, so if it sounds like a good fit, we'd love to have them along.
* Our server runs on Java but we can also welcome Bedrock players - you'll just need to make some minor changes to your setup that we can help you work through.

Is this right for my child?
Each camp runs across three days during the summer holidays, online via Zoom, kept deliberately small so every young person has space. Your child can join with camera on or off, mic on or off, or simply by watching.
Our mentors are neurodivergent themselves. They understand things like demand avoidance, rejection sensitivity, and social anxiety, and know how to hold space for young people who’ve had difficult experiences in group settings before
Run over Zoom in a calm, structured environment, the camp is designed to be accessible for those in burnout - you choose how you engage, whether that's diving in, chatting, or quietly watching along.
Your child will:
🧱 Build their own creation or contribute to a shared project
⚙️ Play fun mini-games, try our parkour courses or our hair-raising rollercoasters
🎮 Explore together, go on PvP adventures, or just hang out in our Uncommon world
🌟 Connect with other Minecraft-loving neurodivergent players in a relaxed, friendly space

Camp Schedule
The schedule of each camp changes slightly, but this should give you a sense of what your child will get up to each day.
As with our weekly clubs, we'll meet on Zoom before jumping into our secure server. Everyone is welcome to attend with cameras off or on, and to message or chat - whatever works for your child !
We'll also have quiet breaks, and a longer movement break halfway through session to help keep everyone comfortable. We regularly check-in throughout camp to ensure that everything is going well and to put in place any additional support your child might need.
Day 1
Meet your fellow campers, play some awesome mini-games together, then go on a tour around our server!
Day 2
Its build day! Take on one of our build challenges, or get creating however you'd like. After the break, jump through a warp to explore the outer edges of our server!
Day 3
Continue building or exploring with new friends, or join in our epic end-of-camp event where we'll battle or explore a special custom zone as a team before finishing with a fantastic end of camp celebration.
After Camp
Enjoy 1 whole month of server access (for free within the price of camp!) where you can continue to play and build with new found friends, take part in community events, and maybe join a regular weekly club to continue after summer!

FAQs
Is Minecraft camp right for my child?
If your child loves Minecraft, they'll feel right at home. Our Minecraft camps are designed for children who enjoy building, exploring and problem-solving in-game - whether they're a seasoned player or still finding their feet. If you're not sure whether it's the right fit, just email us at hello@uncommonminds.co.uk and tell us a bit about your child and we'll help you decide.
What if my child needs to miss a day or leave early?
Not a problem — just drop us a note before the session so our mentors are aware. For Minecraft camp specifically, missing a day won't affect your child's server access, and they'll be able to pick up where they left off when they're back.
How do I book a Minecraft camp?
Camps are booked through the Momence app or using the links above. Once you've set up your account, you can browse available Minecraft camps and book your child's place. Spaces fill up quickly, so we'd recommend booking as early as you can - and getting Minecraft and the Microsoft account set up straight away so you're ready to go.
Can I get a refund?
We try to work as flexibly as possible with our families and we know that things come up. Our Minecraft camps are very popular and sell out quickly, so please do give us as much notice as possible if you won't be able to attend. Get in touch at hello@uncommonminds.co.uk and we'll do our best to help.
What version of Minecraft does my child need?
We welcome Java and Bedrock players, but please read some important information below.
Our server runs on Java Edition, which is the PC/Mac version of the game however we have special plugins that mean we can also welcome Bedrock players on consoles - you'll just need to make some small changes to your system setting. If you play on a tablet, you can do this simply. If your child currently plays on Bedrock Edition on console, please get in touch before camp at hello@uncommonminds.co.uk and we'll advise on the best setup for their device. We also offer a short tech setup session on the day before camp to make sure they can start camp ready and raring to go!
We bought Minecraft on console - can my child still join?
Absolutely! Console versions run on Bedrock Edition, which uses a different server infrastructure to Java. Please contact us before camp and we'll advise on whether your child's setup will work and what steps may be needed. Generally, joining on an Ipad is incredibly simple but some devices (e.g. Xbox, Switch) might need some additional steps, which we can support on.
How do I set up a Microsoft account for my child?
You can create one at account.microsoft.com. If your child is under 13, you'll need to set up a family account and add them as a child account - this gives you parental controls and is required for them to play on our server. Once created, link it to Minecraft by launching the game and signing in. If you need help, just email us and we'll walk you through it.
My child is under 13 - are there extra account restrictions I need to know about?
Yes - Microsoft child accounts have additional privacy and communication settings enabled by default, which can sometimes prevent children from joining multiplayer servers. Before camp, please check your Microsoft Family Safety settings and make sure multiplayer and server access are enabled. If you're not sure how to do this, just email us and we'll help.
How do I complete ID verification, and why is it needed?
Our private Minecraft server is used by children outside of session times, where being on camera or mic isn't required. To keep that space safe, we do a quick ID check before granting access - an adult shows us their ID, and we briefly see your child on camera. It takes around 10-15 seconds. Without this, we're unable to grant server access outside of supervised sessions.
How do I test the server connection before camp?
We strongly recommend testing everything at least a day before camp starts - it can take anywhere from 10 minutes to a little longer if any troubleshooting is needed. If you run into any issues, email us at hello@uncommonminds.co.uk and we'll help you get sorted in time.
How long does my child have access to the server?
Once ID verification is complete, your child can access our private Minecraft server between sessions. Camp members retain access for one month after camp ends - and if your child joins a regular Minecraft club after camp, access continues for as long as their membership is active. If access ever lapses, just get in touch and we'll reinstate it.
