Mission Brief

Three physical domains. One integrated tech sports program.

Roatán Robotics Caribbean Camp runs out of Pristine Academy, on the edge of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. Every student competes in all three domains — VEX V5 robotics indoors, Drone Soccer in the arena, and E1 RC marine racing on Pristine Bay — across a 12-session monthly arc that builds toward Honduras's first registered V5RC team.

12
Sessions per Month

Mon · Wed · Fri across all four weeks of July. Twelve three-hour sessions on the same kit.

36 hrs
Total Contact Time

Equivalent to a semester elective compressed into one month. Build, code, fly, race, compete.

3
Platforms · Every Student

VEX V5 (Ground) · Drone Soccer (Air) · E1 RC Marine Racing (Water). No tracks — every student does all three.

V5RC Team in Honduras

Camp graduates who continue form Honduras's first official VEX Robotics Competition team — year-round from September.

The Camp at a Glance

The Three Platforms

Every student. Every domain. Every month.

Teams aren't assigned to a single platform — they compete in all three. VEX V5 receives the most curriculum time because it's the most technically complex. Drone Soccer and E1 RC deliver the speed and spectacle.

Built with help from a purposeful constellation.

Caribbean Camp doesn't run in isolation. It's built alongside platform makers, conservation organizations, educators, and the local institutions whose ground truth turns a syllabus into a place.
