Calling all technology sleuths! If you are interested in robotics and engineering then this camp is for you! Students, rising 7th through 8th grade, will uncover marine technology through hands-on activities including how to build a simple robot, solder components on a circuit board, design and build a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) for a mini competition, and much more!! In this 4-day, 3-night camp students will bring out their inner deTECHtive to discover ‘what is technology?’.

The camp will feature various hands-on group activities encouraging students to think like an engineer. The stakes are high as they design, build and test various technologies in preparation for an underwater robot challenge.

Program Cost: The total cost of this program is $450 and includes tuition, room, meals, and lab fees.

The $100 registration fee is part of the program cost and is non-refundable.

The next payment of $100 is due when the camp release forms are returned. A balance of $250 is due two weeks prior to check-in.

Tuition (but not registration) payments are refundable if notice of withdrawal is communicated to the DHP Registrar (in writing) at least two weeks prior to the first day of camp AND we are able to fill your camper’s spot from our waitlist.

Registration Information: Space is limited. Please complete the online registration form (link above). Once your registration has been processed and it is determined there is space in the session, you will receive a follow-up email from the DHP registrar with payment instructions. Space will be held for one week to allow payment of the $100 non-refundable registration fee to secure your camper’s space in this program.

Camper handbooks will be e-mailed to parents after May 1, 2025. ALL forms located in the handbook (6 total) should be mailed in with your initial $100 tuition payment by the date indicated in the handbook email.
