National CSI Camp 2025 » Impressive Teens

This organization was founded to educate middle and high school students about crime scene investigations. Some may choose to pursue a post-secondary study in science or law enforcement. Forensics is a discipline that combines both interests.

In our ‘live’ online class AND our in-person classes in NY, PA, and NJ, we cover a wide range of topics and hands-on practicals, including crime scene reconstruction and analysis, fingerprint classification, lifting fingerprints, classifying those prints, and comparing them to a suspect(s), examination of shoe print patterns and casting, blood splatter analysis, DNA, basic chemistry, trigonometry, and much more.

Because of its popularity, this application has developed rapidly. We plan to teach this program in about 50 venues across four states by 2020. We are constantly adding classes and locations, so if your organization, whether it is a school as an Enrichment Program or After School Activity, an Assembly, a PTA/PTO fundraiser, a Boy & Girls Club, an existing Summer Camp as a Field Trip, a non-profit as a guest lecture…we would be delighted to partner and bring the program to you.

The session is intended to be informative, and it is taught by specialists who have worked at hundreds of crime scenes. The professors vow to share their expertise and experience with students in middle school, junior high, and high school.

By relying on current and/or former Detectives to offer the program, they help to bridge the gap between law enforcement and the community in a modest manner. This workshop is regarded an enrichment program on many levels and has been used by a variety of organizations, including non-profits, school boards, and municipalities. This class not only examines STEM and the associated practical concepts of how to solve crimes, but it also keeps students focused, connected, and engaged while also providing them with a positive experience that provides them with an alternative to other risky behaviors such as alcohol and drug use.

Students will take part in an informative presentation on a variety of issues linked to crime scene investigation. Hands-on activities follow each block of training to reinforce the lecture. Some of the topics covered in this training include the history of science and law enforcement pioneers in solving crimes. Students will study about gravity and inertia, biology, DNA, fingerprinting, blood spatter, footprint casting, and processing a pretend crime scene, among other things.

Throughout the five-day course, each day builds on the preceding day’s training, culminating in a simulated trial led by courtroom attorneys.

The class is intended to challenge all students, and they are expected to actively participate in all aspects of the practical and classroom components.
