DC to offer Summer Detectives Camp

DEFIANCE, Ohio – Defiance College’s forensic science, digital forensic science and criminal justice programs will conduct a three-day overnight summer camp for students in grades eight to eleventh on June 25-27.

The Detectives of Defiance: Got Clue? camp will introduce students to crime scene investigations and forensics through a realistic mock crime scene. Students will learn how to search for and collect physical evidence such as fingerprints, shoeprints, and DNA; collect and analyze digital evidence from computers and cell phones; photograph and document a crime scene; interview suspects; and pull it all together to solve the crime. This exciting experience will show the young detectives what really happens “behind the scenes” of popular television shows.

The three-day camp includes supplies, five meals, snacks and two nights’ lodging for $160.
