Camp Activities

This camp not only fosters a love for science but also encourages teamwork, critical thinking, and creativity. Whether aspiring scientists or simply curious minds, campers will leave with a newfound appreciation for the fascinating world of chemistry, sparking a lifelong interest in the sciences. Join S&T for a summer filled with discovery, exploration, and the joy of scientific inquiry! Campers will amaze their friends (and maybe even their teachers) with the things they will do and learn.

Camp activities include:

• synthesize pleasant-smelling molecules from simple materials
• see chemistry “happen” with electricity, light, and heat
• see and learn how things can burn both fast and slow
• touch base with acids
• have fun with polymers
• experience how chemistry on Earth helps us study the chemistry of stars and space
• solve real-world problems with scientific instruments
• tour working chemistry labs and meet scientific researchers
• find out (and experience for yourself!) how chemistry makes ice cream better
