Forensic Science Camp

Summer 2026—Details coming soon!

Interested in studying Forensic Science? This summer, take part in our five-day Forensic Science Camp. This camp, geared for teens ages 14-17 (grades 9-12), will introduce campers to the basics of this exciting field. Through hands-on application of lab and field-based research techniques and practices, campers will work together to explore how the Sciences are applied in Forensic situations as well as the theories and principles underlying these applications.

Join us as we explore topics such as:*

Crime scene examination and evidence collection (through mock crime scenes)
DNA extraction and examination
Detection of body fluids
Fingerprint collection and analysis
Hair and fibre examination (microscopy)
Examination of skeletal remains
Examination of bloodstain and blood spatter patterns
Meeting with professionals in the field
Career and education opportunities available to them in Forensic Science

*Students may be shown disturbing subject matter, such as images and false blood splatter.

This camp will also aim to:

Provide experience working as a team with a common goal
Improve levels of maturity and responsibility
Develop self-confidence in presentation skills, project management, and critical thinking
Provide space and time to explore the applications of sciences in Forensics so that students can better identify areas of individual interest
