CSI: The Case of the Creepy Cottage

About the Camp

Something suspicious is going on at the creepy cottage in the middle of campus. It has been sitting, dark and abandoned, when students suddenly start reporting that they are seeing weird lights through the windows and hearing strange noises when they walk by at night. Police suspect a break-in, but students are starting to spread rumors about ghosts. Who - or what - could be the cause? The only way to solve this mystery is to investigate! As a member of a crime scene investigation team, your child will search for clues and gather evidence. The forensic scientists-in-training will then analyze their evidence in a Penn State laboratory and help interview witnesses to figure out the  what's really going on. Can your junior crime scene investigator use science and their sleuthing skills to help solve the Case of the Creepy Cottage? Your child, together with Penn State forensic scientists and their new friends, will be the one to find out!
