We have the camp
experience for you!
Imagine...being called in the middle
of the night by police. There has
been a crime and they need your help
and expertise to solve the case. There
are a number of clues left at the
scene, including blood, hair, and
clothing. If you do your job correctly
the crime can be solved and the perpetrator
placed behind bars.
The Forensic Science Camp will introduce
you to the fascinating world of Forensic
Science. Learn what it really takes
to process a crime scene, analyze
evidence, use DNA technology to solve
crime and develop your own DNA profile....plus
experience campus life at a University.
