Impact & Adventure: The Field-to-Fleet Residency
The Experience:
This isn't just a residence camp—it’s a high-stakes Social Innovation Residency. Over five days, students transition from the organic redwoods of Hidden Villa to the historic steel decks of the USS Hornet. By merging cutting-edge technology with global artistic collaboration, campers solve real-world problems, build international bridges, and document their journey for a global audience.
The Three Impact Blocks
Global Canvas Project (Uganda): Lead a cross-continental art movement. In collaboration with youth in Uganda, students co-design and paint a large-scale mural centered on the UN Sustainable Development Goals, proving that art has no borders. Online lessons here.
Drone Camp (SkyScan Mapping Expedition): Master the sky to tell the story of the land. Students use Drones and 360° cameras to create immersive visual data and "Virtual Tours" for Google Maps, preserving the legacy of our farm and ship.
Robotics (Kinetic Forge Lab: Build the future of autonomous aid. Students use Micro:bits and 3D printing to engineer custom hardware for Robot Dogs, deploying them for environmental sensing in the forest and structural inspections on the carrier.
Final day of camp will be a lifetime experience @ USS Hornet.
Age: 10-16
