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

Put on your lab coat, grab your evidence kit, and step into the role of a doctor detective! In Forensic Med, campers use science and medicine to uncover clues, analyze evidence, and solve medical mysteries. Starting with the scientific method, they’ll explore how real forensic scientists and medical professionals use biology, chemistry, and anatomy to investigate the truth all as part of a STEM.org accredited program.

Campers dive into topics like DNA, genetics, blood types, and cells, using hands-on experiments to discover how our unique biological markers can help identify individuals. They’ll analyze “mystery mixtures” through chromatography, perform chemistry experiments, study teeth and bones in forensic odontology and anthropology, and examine how toxicology, microbiology, and pathology reveal important details about a case. They’ll even explore forensic entomology, botany, and scatology to see how plants, insects, and even animal evidence help solve crimes.

Through these engaging, hands-on investigations, Forensic Med campers build critical STEM and analytical skills, learn real-world lab techniques, and practice teamwork, observation, and problem-solving just like real forensic specialists.

Some of the medical and forensic professionals campers learn about include:

Forensic Pathologists

Geneticists

Toxicologists

Medical Examiners

Crime Scene Investigators

Forensic Anthropologists

Odontologists

Microbiologists

Odontologists

Epidemiologists

Lab Technicians

Who Is This Camp For?

Level 2 – Ages 6-8

Mini Medics are kids who are intellectually curious and eager to learn about science, medicine and the human body through experiments, activities, crafts and games.

Level 3 – Ages 9-12

Junior Medics (level 3) are bright, focused and interested in medical science and how the human body works. They are mature and ready for the challenge of more advanced experiments and activities.

Teens – Ages 13-17

FALCONs are teens who are interested in learning the Red Cross standard first aid and CPR course for personal growth or for certification. They are mature, responsible, community minded and interested in gaining leadership skills and tools that will make them better leaders at home, at school and in their community.

Medics Camp is proud to be accredited by STEM.org, the leading third-party validator of STEM programs. Our STEM.org Authenticated™ trustmark ensures that our programs meet high standards, align with Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math education, and foster 21st-century skills through hands-on learning and collaboration.
