Miss Manners might not approve, but your child definitely will! Super Gross Science Camp is a week packed with wonderfully icky experiments, fascinating body science, and wild chemistry. From fizzy, gassy reactions and bubbling concoctions to the mysteries of burps, boogers, and blood, campers will explore the science behind some of the messiest—and most amazing—phenomena. Along the way, they’ll dive into chemistry, biology, and even a little forensic science, with plenty of hands-on experiments and take-home projects.

Daily Description:
Cleaning Up Crime
Become a forensic scientist and learn the science behind solving a crime! Campers will solve their own CSI mystery and eat homemade ice cream.

Fizzy, Gassy Reactions
What do stomach acids do? Find out with our popper stoppers and liquid ooze. Discover how a clock can run on soda or water without batteries.

Ooey Gooey Insides
Investigate the insides of Tall Paul. Make boogers that you can hold. Learn about the digestive process and take home edible excrement.

Slimy Chemistry
Make a lemon battery, electroplate a penny and conduct electrochemistry with goldenrod paper. Clean up your own germs with soap and “exploding toothpaste” and then get dirty again with slime.

Slippery Science of Cells
Learn about what makes up a cell and about your inherited traits like your sense of taste. Discover what burps are made of with dry ice. Take home your own edible DNA and kids lab coat.
