Camp registrations are processed in the order in which they are received.
This three-night overnight camp is designed for 7th and 8th grade students interested in engineering, robotics and exploration. Campers will explore ocean technology through a variety of activities including designing, building, soldering, and programming. Led by the Dauphin Island Sea Lab’s full time educators, campers will engineer circuits, explore 3d printing, investigate sensors, program message boards and design and build a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) for an underwater robot challenge. This camp allows students to bring out their inner deTECHtive to discover the ‘whats’ and ‘hows’ of technology.
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, 2026. ALL required forms found in the handbook should be mailed in with your initial $100 tuition payment by the date indicated in the handbook email.

The Dauphin Island Sea Lab reserves the right to cancel the program in the event enrollment is inadequate. Noncompliance with the rules of the program results in expulsion and forfeiture of the program cost.
