Chemistry is everywhere, from the food we eat to the materials we use every day! In Chem Quest, campers in Grades 6-8 will explore the fascinating world of chemistry through hands-on experiments and investigations.

Campers will dive into multiple areas of chemistry, while developing practical lab skills and scientific thinking. At least one day of the camp will highlight food chemistry, where campers will explore the science behind cooking and create their own edible creations (just like our popular Cooking with Chemistry camp!). Throughout the program, campers will also have opportunities to learn from UofG chemistry mentors, gaining insight into chemistry studies and careers.
Expect to see: Hands-on chemistry experiments and investigations, exploration of multiple areas of chemistry, a dedicated food chemistry experience with take-home creations, and opportunities to learn from UofG chemistry mentors!
Chem Quest is for youth entering Grades 6, 7 & 8 in September 2026.

Camp will take place Monday-Friday from 9 AM-4 PM. This summer we are offering Extended Care (optional, for an additional flat fee) in which campers can be dropped off starting at 8:10 AM and picked up any time between 4-4:50 PM. You can opt into Extended Care upon registering a camper for a given camp week. Please note that campers in Grade 6 or higher are permitted to be designated for “Self Sign-Out” of themselves and younger siblings. For more information, please visit our website (www.uoguelph.ca/creative-encounters/).
Please do not hesitate to email us at cse@uoguelph.ca if you have any questions and we will get back to you as soon as we can. We are looking forward to another amazing summer of in-person STEM camps!
