Chemistry

Join us for an explosive three days of chemical reactions! You will measure and mix common ingredients to create potions that change color, form, and sound. From an explosive Coca-Cola fountain to an acidity indicator, we will learn about the basics of what our world is made of. After visiting the famed DeYoung’s Anderson Graphic Art Collection, we will use chemical reactions to create cool prints using friendly chemicals that we will prepare.

The camp will include a walk for about 20 minutes to visit the DeYoung Museum in Golden Gate Park.

Hours: 9am-4pm
Fee: $360
Extended care: 4-5pm @ $45
