Ninjas Center Brings Kids’ Coding, Robotics, and STEM Camps to Gulf Breeze

GULF BREEZE, FL – A new high-tech learning opportunity is coming to Santa Rosa County this summer. Code Ninjas, the world’s largest and fastest-growing kids’ coding franchise, is
expanding to Gulf Breeze with summer STEM camps beginning June 30, and a full Grand
Opening celebration scheduled for August 23.

The new location, at 5668 Gulf Breeze Parkway (across from the Gulf Breeze Zoo), will serve
families from Navarre to Gulf Breeze with programs that teach kids ages 5 to 14 how to code
through game building, app development, and robotics—all in a fun, safe, dojo-style
environment.

“Our son loved Code Ninjas when we were stationed in San Antonio,” said Jo Dawn Brown, who co-owns the local centers with her husband, Stephen Brown, an active-duty U.S. Air Force member stationed at NAS Pensacola. “When we moved to Pensacola, we knew kids here deserved the same opportunity to learn skills that prepare them for the future.”

Since opening their first Code Ninjas in Pensacola in 2023, the Browns have introduced coding
and problem-solving skills to more than 2,000 local children. The new Gulf Breeze location
expands access to this fast-growing program with structured coding courses, LEGO robotics
teams, and STEM clubs.

Summer camps will be held temporarily at Epic Prep Academy in Navarre, giving local kids a
head start even before the permanent location opens.

“We’re not just teaching coding,” said Stephen Brown. “We’re helping kids become creators—not just consumers—of technology.”
Code Ninjas is an approved Step Up for Students Direct Pay Provider, making programs
more accessible for Florida families using education savings accounts. In addition to year-round classes, the Gulf Breeze center will host after-school programs, weekend workshops, and special events.
Code Ninjas Pensacola and Gulf Breeze are also available to partner with schools and/or
organizations.
