{Bowling Green State University} Forensic Science Camp
The BGSU Forensic Science Camp is designed to provide high school students an insight to the education and training crime laboratories require. Forensic scientists typically work in laboratory environments, but can also be found in courtrooms, crime scenes, classrooms or morgues. They also can work in variety of employer levels and environments or can even work independently as forensic science consultants.
{George Washington University} Crime Scene Investigation: DC Summer Immersion
In this course, students focus on the fundamentals of investigating elaborate crime scenes and apply state-of-the-art forensic science principles in simulated experiences. Students will be introduced to the critical skills and abilities necessary for future careers such as investigators, detectives, lawyers, special agents, medico-legal death investigators, crime scene technicians, and forensic pathologists.
{Georgetown University} Forensic Science Academy
Test your critical thinking skills by collecting and interpreting evidence as you explore the application of science and medicine in law enforcement. In Georgetown's Forensic Science Academy, you'll gain a firsthand look at the world of forensic science from professionals in the field—including investigators, detectives, crime scene technicians, and pathologists. You’ll have opportunities to take advantage of the extraordinary forensic science resources of the nation’s capital while studying everything from crime scene diagramming and criminal investigative processes to video forensic analysis and the ethical dilemmas faced by today’s security professionals.
{Saint Mary's College} Forensic Camp
Our most popular camp! On the first day, campers arrive to a staged murder scene. They gather physical evidence, such as fingerprints, fiber and hair samples, in their quest to discover the murderer. Junior detectives solve the mystery by interviewing culprits, applying biology, chemistry, mathematics, and deductive reasoning.
Students also take a field trip to an actual police crime lab during the week. On the last day, campers share the results of their investigation in a presentation to family and friends.
