Swimming and hiking not for your child this summer? Send her to the scene of the crime!

In Oshawa, UOIT has opened its CSI house to students with a summer camp running over the next three years to stimulate interest in the forensic science course.

Each camp runs Monday through Friday, with camps for students in Grades 7-8 and sessions for high school students.

Before entering the CSI house, the students at camp are given a crime scene kit complete with all the tools they need to solve the mystery of a fictional killer. Armed with a ruler, toothbrush for cleaning away soil, caliper to measure bones, tape measure, pocket protector, pen/highlighter, flashlight, calculator and disposable camera, they must crack the crime.

Students are also briefed with background information on the crime, which provides the events leading up to it, a police search, a victim and suspect description and police comments.

“The camp will help foster a love for science that will stay with these students through their entire lives,” said Shari Forbes, professor of forensic science at UOIT.
