Seafloor Science & Remotely Operated Vehicle Camp
Dive into the World of Ocean Exploration and Marine Technology!
Seafloor Science & ROV Camp
is a hands-on, STEM oriented day camp that centers on underwater robotics, seafloor habitats, sensors, and more!
We bring over 30 years of ocean exploration background to provide a hands-on learning experience that captures the imagination.
Discover
Students discover the exciting field of ocean exploration from scientific technical and environmental perspectives.
Challenge
Campers are challenged from the start with activities employing teamwork and creative problem solving.
Each camp runs for one week.
Participants benefit from a low STUDENT:INSTRUCTOR ratio
Seafloor Science & ROV Camp offers one-week-long STEM summer day camps for two age groups:
Children ages 8 – 10 (entering grades 3 – 5),
children ages 11 – 14 (entering grades 6 -9),
SS-ROV Camp offers hands-on activities related to deep-sea exploration ranging from rovers, underwater ROVs, sensors, plankton, sonars, scientific drilling, marine geology and more. As ocean explorers, campers will engage in teamwork activities that develop leadership skills, cultivate creative solutions to technical challenges and tap into a range of career possibilities, all while discovering our fascinating underwater world.

I didn’t know that I could do it and it turned out to be a whole lot of fun!
SS-ROV Camp participant – Los Gatos, 2016
ROVs are the coolest things you’ve ever seen! You use a joystick, and it’s like an underwater, real-life video game!

OUR PHILOSOPHY
We recognize the need for STEM-based programs that promote problem-solving skills and teamwork through hands-on activities.
Within the marine science realm, there is an increased demand for technology-savvy professionals who can communicate with scientists – and scientists who are educated in the technology used for their research.
Bridging these fields allows for more effective collaboration and better research outcomes.
WE BELIEVE
the path to attaining economic stability in the future begins with STEM education in childhood.
