Specialty Camps STEM SS-ROV Camp (8-14 yrs) Ever wonder what lies on the seafloor? Dive into the world of marine science, technology, and operations with the Seafloor Science and Remotely Operated Vehicle (SS ROV) camp. This week-long STEM summer day camp was developed for two age groups (Level I, rising 3-5th graders and Level II, 6-9th graders). This hands-on camp covers the scientific method for ecosystems and seafloor geology plus technologies for deep-sea exploration. Interactive activities incorporate rovers, underwater ROVs, sensors, plankton, sonars, scientific drilling, geology, and more.

Campers should bring a lunch and drink each day. Instructed by SS-ROV staff. June camps are held at the Joan Pisani Community Center, 19655 Allendale Ave in Saratoga; July camps held at Los Gatos High School; room TBD. Level 1: Entering grades 3-5
