Salters' Chemistry Camps 2008

As we bid a fond farewell to the 2008 Salters' Chemistry Camps work has already begun to organise the Camps of 2009!

A big thank you to all the students who participated and everyone who contributed to making this year's Camps such special occasions! Information for the 2009 Salters Chemistry Camps will be sent out to schools in November with application forms available to download on the website from Monday 24 November 2008 .

2008 saw another record year for the Salters' Chemistry Camps with seventeen Camps hosted by Universities across the UK. Two new Camps were held at The University of Cambridge, an addition to the existing back-to-back Camps at Bath, Bristol, Imperial, Nottingham and Sussex.

Following the continuing success of the Pharmaceutical Chemistry focused Salters' Chemistry Camps in 2007, GlaxoSmithKline continued their funding towards the same eight Camps in 2008, at The University of Bath, The University of Bristol, The University of Nottingham and The University of Sussex.

The Royal Society of Chemistry's Aimhigher project, Chemistry: The Next Generation (C:TNG) have again agreed to support two back-to-back Camps at Imperial College, London. As in previous years, the Camp will be attended by 25 students from Aimhigher schools in the London area and 25 students from other schools from London and other areas of the UK.

Calling all Chemistry Teachers!

We are looking for more teachers to help run the Salters' Chemistry Camps to be held in the summer of 2009 and in future years.  A University Host, a Lead Teacher and a team of 5 Teacher Mentors are assigned to each Camp.  If you would like the opportunity to work with highly motivated students and are interested in a rewarding and fun teaching experience outside of school then click here for futher information.
