“Send your child in old clothes and pack a spare outfit in their backpack.”
What is School's Out Camp | Messy Science? This is a full-day drop-off program in Chapel Hill where children conduct hands-on chemistry experiments using sticky, gooey materials. What to Know: The program runs from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM at The Nest, located in Chapel Hill. It is designed specifically for children ages 4 to 8. Registration costs $100 for non-members and $80 for members. Because the activities involve messy ingredients, you should dress your child in clothes that can get dirty and pack a spare outfit, along with a nut-free lunch, snacks, and a water bottle. This camp is an excellent solution for working parents who need reliable childcare during school teacher workdays. Your child will stay busy with structured, educational activities in a safe environment while you tackle your Monday to-do list.
