FORENSIC MEDICINE

About Forensic Medicine

Ages: 5-12 | Levels: 1-3

Locations: Thornhill & Toronto

Use the Power of Science to Identify & Analyze Clues to Help Solve Crimes!

All kids love to solve mysteries, and new for 2025, we will offer Forensic Medicine for ages 5-6 in addition to our existing older age groups. In this unique program theme, campers will journey into a different area of medicine where doctors and scientists specialize in identifying and analyzing microscopic clues to help solve crimes. Think of them as doctor detectives! Kids will hone their observational skills and attention to detail, developing a keen eye for evidence and a methodical approach to investigation.

Campers will explore various forensic fields that aid in solving crimes, such as fingerprint analysis, DNA and genetics, footprints and tire tracks, handwriting analysis, blood typing, forensic entomology, odontology, forensic anthropology, toxicology, trace evidence, and forensic botany. They will experience the thrill of piecing together mysteries and gain a deeper understanding of science and law enforcement. As with our other program themes, topics and activities are age-based, and special care has been taken to ensure the content is fun, not frightening.

Note: Content and activities have been customized for each age group and are not intended to be scary. Every effort has been made to present the information and activities in kid friendly ways but if your child is particularly sensitive, our Discover and Explore camps would be a better fit.

This Camp Covers:

FINGERPRINTS, DNA, BLOOD TYPES, BONES, PATHOLOGY, MICROBIOLOGY, TOXICOLOGY, ENTOMOLOGY, ODONTOLOGY, FORENSIC ANTHROPOLOGY, TRACE EVIDENCE, OBSERVATIONAL SKILLS, CRITICAL THINKING, CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION.

Who is this Camp For?

Level 1 – Munchkin Medics: Ages 5-7*

Level 2 – Mini Medics: Ages 7-9

Level 3 - Junior Medics: Ages 9-12

Age-Based and Learner-Driven Unique Journeys: Activities and topics increase in complexity for each age group and are different each day. Level 2 and Level 3 topics and activities are different and neither are intended to be scary

Forensic specialties learned about in this camp include: Pathologists, Forensic Anthropologists, Microbiologists, Toxicologists, Odontologists, Entomologists, DNA Analysts, Dactyloscopy and more....

Medics Camp’s certified STEM.org programs are designed to be age-specific and learner-driven, offering unique daily activities for every program and age group. As kids progress through the age groups, the topics and challenges grow more complex, and each program theme introduces new medical professionals and concepts.

For example, an 8-year-old in the Level 2 Mini Medics group (ages 7-9) can join any or all three themes: Discover, Explore, and Forensic Med and each day will offer fresh experiences tailored to their age. The following summer, they can advance to the Junior Medics group (ages 9-12), tackling higher-level challenges in the same themes, with all-new content suited for older campers.

There’s no required order or prerequisites—each theme is self-contained and age-appropriate. Campers are always grouped with peers their age, working in small teams of 4 to 6, and guided by dedicated instructors and counselors in their own camp rooms.

At Medics Camp, your child will enjoy a personalized, exciting journey that inspires curiosity and learning!

*Campers must be at least age 5 OR have completed JK.
