De Chemische Binding

The ICE camp is an introduction camp for Chemistry and Chemical Engineering first-year students, organized by the study association De Chemische Binding.

It is a fun way for the first-year students to get to know both each other and our association, in the form of various fun, themed activities. It is not mandatory but highly recommended. The cost for the camp is 55 euros, which includes everything (accomodation, transport, food) but drinks. 

 The theme of the camp this year is "AlICE in Wonderland "! The camp will start right after the mandatory Faculty Introduction Day on the 29th of August and lasts until Sunday, the 31st of August. Transport to the camp will be arranged by the Introdution Committee, in the form of buses. The buses will leave from campus after the FID.

Make sure to bring your best Alice in Wonderland themed outfits to the camp, so you can look dashing along with us at the Themed Party!
