Get ready to mix, experiment, and discover! World of Chemistry is an exciting, hands-on program where campers dive into the building blocks of matter and learn how chemistry connects to the world around them.

Campers will explore basic chemistry concepts—like atoms, reactions, and solutions—through fun experiments and creative challenges. Then, they’ll see how these ideas come to life in the real world, applying their new knowledge to fascinating fields such as forensics, medicine, the environment, as well as chemicals we use in everyday life.
