Each week-long day camp enables participants to explore the exciting world of forensics by investigating a “murder mystery”!   The camps are set in a university or college lab - so campers are able to solve the crime by conducting real experiments using state-of-the-art equipment.  Campers will also have an opportunity to explore the applications of genetic technologies beyond the lab by considering the science from social and ethical perspectives.  Campers can expect a couple of very interesting guest speakers throughout the week as well! 

Other benefits to attending a Geneskool Summer Camp include:
