Two sessions are offered - choose the one that best fits your schedule.

Unleash your inner scientist and artist at our Tie-Dye Lab—where chemistry meets creativity! We’ll provide aprons, vibrant dyes, and all the materials you need to transform fabric into a masterpiece. Whether you're a tie-dye newbie or a seasoned pro, this hands-on activity will let you experiment with color mixing, binding techniques, and the science behind dye absorption.
Pro tip: Wear clothes you don’t mind getting a little extra colorful! Want to take your tie-dye precision to the next level? Feel free to bring an oven rack or camping grate for a more meticulous dyeing process.

Get ready to mix, twist, and dye—because in this lab, messy is a sign of success!
