Discovering Chemistry Summer Camp

Chemistry is often referred to as the “central science” because it touches on so many other scientific disciplines. From a single atom to the entire cosmos, everything is made of chemicals – you included! During this camp, we will have hands-on activities, demonstrations, and presentations to introduce you to a variety of chemistry concepts and experiences. It will be educational, but it won’t be summer school – it’ll be summer fun with chemistry! You will amaze your friends (and maybe even your teachers) with the things we hope you will learn. 

Join us for our Discovering Chemistry Summer Camp on June 13 - 16, 2023. For more information and registration click here.
