Canadian Chemistry Olympiad National Camp
The Canadian Chemistry Olympiad National Camp (CCO Camp) is an intensive training and selection program organized by CIC to identify members for IChO Canadian national team. Held annually at the UBC, the camp aims to foster the talents of exceptional students in chemistry. Starting from 2024, the CCO Committee collaborates with A*SEEDER to offer 30 seats to outstanding Chinese participants who have received recognition from CCC/CCO. These participants join their Canadian counterparts at UBC for a comprehensive training experience. The camp curriculum encompasses advanced modules in chemistry Olympiad academics, complemented by practical sessions involving approximately 20 hours of hands-on chemical experiments in UBC's world class laboratories. Upon completion of the camp, UBC will present participants with official certificates recognizing their participation in the CCO Camp.
