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.
