The camp offers a unique opportunity to learn real-world investigative techniques and interact with law enforcement professionals.
Students participating in the Crime Scene Investigator Camp will engage in hands-on activities to process and document mock crime scenes using real-world techniques and equipment. They will learn to obtain and inspect various types of evidence, including developing fingerprints, casting shoe impressions, and analyzing hair and fiber samples. Campers will also examine handwriting for forgeries and utilize their acquired knowledge to identify perpetrators and even conduct mock trials. The program aims to develop problem-solving, critical thinking, and teamwork skills while providing a fascinating look into how science is applied to solve real-world mysteries. Additionally, participants may benefit from short presentations by visitors from law enforcement agencies such as the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, the FBI, and the Secret Service.
A typical day involves processing mock crime scenes, collecting and examining evidence, and participating in hands-on activities like fingerprint development and analyzing samples.
This camp is ideal for rising 7th-12th graders who are interested in forensic science, law enforcement, and solving mysteries.
