Four days of edible science and a 6-foot Candy Tree harvested on NYE. | 4 Day Camp
About the Class
THE VILLAGE (1102 Lincoln) | Monday, December 28 – Thursday, December 31, 2026 Four days of science you can actually taste. The Big Build is The Candy Tree: a 6-foot PVC sculpture hung with edible decorations the cohort makes across the week, then harvested at the NYE Camp Countdown. Day 1 is Ice Cream Day. Day 2 is Candy Chemistry: rock candy crystals, gummy bear experiments, real chocolate tempering, handmade lollipops. Day 3 is Sweet Showcase, with a tasting menu the cohort designs and shares with each other. Day 4 is Confetti Lab with a hand-built ball drop and 3 PM Camp Countdown. Every camper takes home a Sugar Lab recipe book, a labeled New Year's slime jar, an NYE goody bag of candies harvested from the Tree, and a confetti-photo memento.
