The evidence doesn’t lie—but can you find it?
Step behind the yellow tape and enter the world of forensic science. Campers become Lead Investigators, using real-world scientific techniques to solve a week-long mystery. From dusting for prints to analyzing DNA, this is a hands-on journey where logic, chemistry, and keen observation are the only ways to catch the culprit.
Each day, campers master a new forensic discipline to help crack the case:
Fingerprint Analysis: Learn the science of dactyloscopy. Dust for "latent" prints, identify loops, whorls, and arches, and learn how to lift evidence from tricky surfaces.
Trace Evidence & Chemistry: Use microscopes to analyze fibers, hair, and "mystery powders" found at the scene. Campers will perform chemical reactions to identify unknown substances.
Digital Forensics & Encryption: Not all clues are physical. Use "cyber-sleuthing" to decode encrypted messages, recover "deleted" files, and follow the digital trail left behind.
Impression Evidence: Cast molds of footprints and tire tracks left in the "mud" to identify the height, weight, and movement of suspects.
On Monday, a "crime" is discovered at camp. Throughout the week, the evidence piles up. On Friday, our teams of investigators will:
Process the Scene: Document and bag evidence under pressure.
Interrogate Suspects: Use psychological profiling and logic to interview camp staff "witnesses."
Present the Case: Just like in a real courtroom, teams will present their findings and "prosecute" their prime suspect based on the scientific data they gathered.
This camp is perfect for students who love science, puzzles, and justice:
The Scientific Method: Forming hypotheses and testing them against physical data.
Deductive Reasoning: Learning to separate "red herrings" from actual clues.
Attention to Detail: Noticing the small things that others miss.
Ethics & Integrity: Understanding the importance of unbiased investigation and the chain of custody.
FUN FRIDAY TRIP: (Optional)
We will ask campers where they want to go on Monday and will decide by wednesday. Options are endless with theme parks, Science centers, Zoos and more!
