Bigger Better Chemistry Lab - Week of July 8


Make sure to wear your safety goggles before stepping into our atomic laboratory! Young chemists will experiment with hands-on, dynamic chemistry reactions that “excite” and “ignite” our world to epic proportions! Campers will team up to design their own colorful indoor fireworks, create instant Glow Worms of all sizes, experiment with giant erupting Elephant Toothpaste, and test out explosive reactions to send rockets flying! Our Polymer Experts will investigate and analyze ingredients to create the Ultimate Slime Recipe.

Additionally, each camper will receive a set of Official Mad Science Lab Gear, Mad Science Lab Coat, goggles, Mad Science Certification, and specially designed Take Homes to help extend learning at home.

**This camp is run by Mad Science staff members. 

To accommodate the town fireworks schedule on Friday, July 12, the FULL DAY class will meet until 12:30. The PM class will meet Monday-Thursday this week.
