The camp offers a unique opportunity to learn real-world forensic techniques and equipment, with potential insights from active law enforcement agencies.
The Forensic Science Camp at Central Piedmont Community College offers students in grades 7-12 an immersive, hands-on experience in crime scene investigation and evidence analysis. Campers will engage in activities such as processing mock crime scenes, developing fingerprints, casting shoe impressions, and analyzing hair and fiber samples. They will also examine handwriting for forgeries and learn about various types of evidence, including anthropology, arson, toxicology, counterfeiting, blood detection, and blood spatter. The program emphasizes real-world techniques and equipment, culminating in campers developing their own crime scenes for peers to solve. Additionally, participants may benefit from presentations by visitors from law enforcement agencies like the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, the FBI, and the Secret Service, providing valuable insights into actual investigative work.
A typical day involves hands-on activities processing mock crime scenes, analyzing different types of evidence, and potentially attending presentations by law enforcement professionals.
This camp is ideal for students who love CSI and are interested in solving crimes, exploring forensic science techniques, and learning about real-world investigative work.
