Campers will spend the week conducting  fun chemistry experiments. Throughout every activity, there is an emphasis on safety, stressing the proper use of chemistry lab equipment, chemicals and other materials. At the same time, campers learn and put into practice principles and concepts that bridge simple chemistry activities and experiments that everyone loves, to more in-depth principles found in middle and high school chemistry. Campers will learn that an important part of any science experiment is asking questions in order to discover new things! All sciences intertwine and we will see that throughout the week and have a great time.
