FORT MYERS, FL - August 2025 proudly announces the success of its 2nd Annual Adventurology: Sports, S.T.E.A.M.S. & Arts Summer Camp, held August 8-9, 2025, at Animals and Kids Ranch in Fort Myers. This year's camp welcomed over 100 youth participants, with 100% receiving scholarships thanks to the generosity of sponsors, community partners, and the blessings of God.
The two-day immersive experience was a vibrant showcase of hands-on learning and leadership development. Horsemanship and riding were led by Animals and Kids Rescue, while football tackling techniques were taught by TACKLE University of Naples, Florida, alongside health and wellness training from LA Fitness. Youth explored science and discovery with IMAG History & Science Center, practiced sculpting and painting, and participated in safety and combat drills with the United States Marines. Additional programming included team-building activities and multiple S.T.E.A.M.S.-based workshops.
All participants received full-day meals, snacks, and hydration throughout the camp, provided by generous food and beverage sponsors.

Mentorship: Building Leaders for Life
Mentorship is one of the core pillars of Dream 2 Lead. For youth ages 11-17, D2L provides group mentorship integrated into programs like Adventurology, reinforcing teamwork, leadership skills, and personal development through interactive activities and curriculum-based sessions.
For young adults ages 18-24, D2L offers one-on-one traditional mentorship. Each participant is matched with a dedicated mentor who supports their college readiness, provides referrals and recommendations, and opens doors to professional opportunities including pro sports scouting, entertainment and arts industry connections, vocational training, and grant and sponsorship opportunities to support their growth.
Diversity, Faith, and a Legacy of Leadership
Campers came from diverse backgrounds and all walks of life, representing a range of cultures, communities, and experiences. This diversity enriches the camp environment, allowing youth to learn from one another while building friendships that cross boundaries.
At the heart of Dream 2 Lead's mission is the legacy of leadership instilling confidence, discipline, creativity, and character that will carry participants forward in their academic, athletic, and personal lives. "We give thanks to God for the opportunity to impact so many young lives," said Kristoffer Doura, Founder of Dream 2 Lead.
Telena Paris, Founder of Adventurology and the visionary behind its curriculum and the organization's programming, added, "Adventurology was created to merge exploration, learning, and leadership. Every single youth left with new skills, new connections, and the belief that they can lead and succeed."
Celebrating the Power Couple Behind the Organization's Growth
The growth and impact of Dream 2 Lead is driven by the leadership of Kristoffer Doura and Telena Paris. Kristoffer founded the organization with the mission to equip youth with purpose, leadership skills, and opportunities. Telena took that mission and brought it to life designing and implementing transformative programs, camps, and initiatives, including the Adventurology Summer Camp, that have become the cornerstone of D2L's statewide impact.
What's Next for Dream 2 Lead
Dream 2 Lead is the only organization in the nation to adopt the expanded S.T.E.A.M.S. model adding Sports to the traditional Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math framework creating a truly holistic approach to youth development.
The months ahead will feature year-round tutoring programs, equestrian leadership courses, sports clinics, arts and culture immersions, STEM innovation labs, youth leadership intensives, and resilience workshops. Planned travel experiences will take students to national landmarks, marine research expeditions, and immersive arts and science hubs expanding their learning beyond the classroom and their local communities.
