- Come spend five exciting days exploring the magic of chemistry in a real college laboratory.
- Perform dozens of experiments that are fun, safe, amazing and guaranteed to generate enthusiasm for science.
- Make your own tie-died safety goggles, learn how the alchemist "turned" copper into silver and gold, make and test your own aspirin, make slime and explore other polymers, experience the magic of chemical reactions and investigate a "crime scene".
- Sessions run for three hours, either morning or afternoon, Monday through Friday.
- Space is limited to 25 students per session.
- All seats will be assigned on a "first come/first served" basis.
- The Chemistry Camp is open to any student who will be entering 5th through 7th grade in the fall of the upcoming year.
