Everybody loves a good mystery. Campers will spend the week learning forensic science skills and unraveling the mysteries set before them. Campers will learn fingerprinting, footprinting, tire tracking, as well as bite mark, handwriting and ink analysis, collection and identification of trace evidence, analysis of splatter and contact stains, and entomology/bug identification.

Each child will take home with them at week’s end their very own crime investigation kit, which will include fingerprinting cards, fingerprinting powder, and lifting tape as well as other forensic science tools. Midweek, camp will take a field trip to the City of Pontiac Police Department Crime Lab and see first hand what is involved in fighting crime and solving mysteries.

Children must be ages 8 to 13 years old to participate in this camp. Seven camper enrollments are needed for this camp to run, camp is limited to 12 campers.


These campers dust for finger prints in order to locate the suspect!
