Attention science fanatics from age 13-18: Trent University is once again hosting the Forensic Science and DNA Summer camp this summer, and you won’t want to miss it! This is your chance to gain hands-on experience and learn from industry professionals in settings that will make you think you're in a real crime scene.

With the beautiful Symons Campus as your backdrop in late July, Trent Forensics will take you on an interactive journey that you'll have to see to believe.

Here are a few of the activities you or your savvy kids can expect at the camp...

-> Processing crime scenes at the offseason crime scene house
-> Evidence collection
-> DNA extraction
-> Outdoor crime scene processing
-> Finger print and DNA analysis

In addition to these awesome hands-on experiences, you will learn from industry experts including members of the OPP, Peterborough Police Forensics Unit, MNRF professionals, bloodstain pattern analysts, and more!

The topics in the daily guest lectures include...

-> Crime scene investigation and evidence collection
-> Law enforcement
-> Wildlife forensics
-> Bloodstain pattern analysis (think Dexter)
-> Finger printing
-> Entomology (the study of insects)

This awesome, educational camp runs two one-week sessions in late July, and includes both an overnight and day camp option. Residential campers will have the unique opportunity to stay overnight in Gzowski College and will feel like a real on-campus student for a week. Campers will be under 24 hour supervision and be provided 3 meals/day.

The Day Camp portion runs from 8:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. with meal plans being an option for day campers.

For those looking for the all-encompassing University experience, activities such as an evening trip to the zoo, bonfires, hikes, on campus recreational activities, a formal dinner, and a trip to the movies are all in store.

The deadline for registration is June 12th, yet May 15th offers another deadline of interest. The camp is offering a limited number of bursaries based on academic excellence and potential financial need.

Campers can register online or by contacting Trent’s Conference Services (see contact info below) for more info.

Session Dates are as follows...

Session #1: Sunday, July 19th to Friday, July 24th
