Since 2003, Trent University’s Forensic Science Camp has offered students (ages 13-17) the opportunity to experience a week in the life of a forensic scientist. Campers learn what it takes to process a crime scene, analyze evidence, and take it to court.

Structure:

Students are introduced to an open investigation
It’s their job to work with our counselors, demonstrators, and guest speakers to gain the skills necessary to crack the case!
Campers gain first hand experience with a number of forensic practices through in-class lectures by our guest and counselors, as well as laboratory activities.
- Crime scene note-taking and photography
- Identifying and packaging evidence
- Developing DNA profiles for their case
- Evidence analysis in: fingerprints, bloodstains, hairs, footwear impressions, and skeletal remains
- Participating in a mock trial
Overnight campers stay at Trent University’s Peter Gzowski residence, surrounded by stunning natural scenery
- Day camp is also an option for our participants that live nearby
- Parents are responsible for arranging all transportation
