4-H Investigates Camp

Can you solve the case? Put your detective skills to the test!

Do you love solving puzzles and cracking mysteries? Step into the role of a detective and put your skills to the test in this hands-on forensic science camp! Youth will investigate a “murder” mystery using real-world techniques like blood typing, fingerprint analysis, hair examination, blood spatter interpretation, and DNA evidence. Along the way, participants will hear from real law enforcement officers about how they solve crimes and use these tools in the field. Get ready to follow the clues, analyze the evidence, and uncover the truth!
