FORT MYERS, FL - August 6, 2025 - Dream 2 Lead (D2L), one of Florida's fastest-growing youth empowerment nonprofits, is bringing its full force to Southwest Florida with the launch of the Adventurology: Sports, S.T.E.A.M. & Arts Summer Camp, happening August 8-9, 2025 at Animals and Kids Ranch in Fort Myers.
This groundbreaking two-day camp is more than a summer activity it's a launchpad for youth ages 11-18 to explore leadership, life skills, and creativity through a unique blend of football, equestrian training, S.T.E.A.M.S. education, and the arts. With support from some of the nation's top brands and local institutions, Adventurology is set to be one of the most impactful youth camps of the season.
LEADERSHIP ROOTED IN PURPOSE & PASSION
Kristoffer Doura, former NFL athlete turned financial strategist, envisioned a space where young people especially boys of color could explore discipline, identity, and growth beyond the field. His dream was to create a model that didn't just coach youth in sports, but in life. Now, that vision is becoming reality through Dream 2 Lead.
Bringing this vision to life is Telena Paris, CEO of D2L and a powerhouse in nonprofit development, curriculum design, and arts leadership. It was Telena who crafted the infrastructure, built the curriculum, and transformed Kristoffer's dream into a scalable, year-round model.
Together, they are a power couple in motion with Kristoffer leading the movement from the frontlines and Telena anchoring its legacy through structure, creativity, and strategy.
TELENA PARIS: AN ARTIST, EDUCATOR, AND CULTURAL ARCHITECT
Beyond her nonprofit credentials, Telena Paris brings decades of experience in performing and creative arts, including work as an actor, filmmaker, choreographer, singer, dancer, and theater artist. Her passion for the arts has helped shape the creative heartbeat of D2L programming.
With a lifelong belief in the power of performance and artistic expression to shape identity and inspire confidence, Telena has infused Adventurology with high-quality arts programming, including sculpting, visual storytelling, choreography workshops, and more. Through partnerships with organizations like the Fort Myers Alliance for the Arts, she's ensuring that every child-regardless of zip code-has access to the transformative power of the arts.
