Tiffin University will host its annual Cold Case Camp July 14 through July 17 on campus. The camp is open to high school students entering their junior or senior year.
TU’s Cold Case Camp is an immersive camp that will acquaint high school students with cold case work and introduce them to the many concepts involved in the solving of cold cases. Students will be exposed to both mock and real cold cases in a hands-on capacity. The camp will be led by TU School of Criminal Justice and Social Sciences faculty and professionals experienced in conducting criminal investigations at all levels.
Activities in the camp will include participation in mock and real cold case work, organization of cold case files, overview of evidence evaluation in criminal cases, examining materials, overview of how cold cases develop and are solved including the approaches used by professionals in the field, lessons in victimology and suspectology in the solving of cold cases, and basic investigation as well as data analysis techniques.
“The Cold Case Camp provides a unique opportunity for high school students to immerse themselves in the world of criminal investigations. Through hands-on learning and mentorship from our expert faculty, participants will better understand the complexities of cold case investigations while collaborating with peers who share their passion,” said Dr. Lacy Ellis, Dean of the School of Criminal Justice & Social Sciences at Tiffin University. “We are thrilled to offer our Cold Case Camp again this summer. It’s not just about education; it’s about inspiring the next generation of investigators and problem solvers. The skills and insights gained in this program can set students on a path toward a rewarding career in the field of criminal justice.”
The cost of the camp is $800 per student, including room and board. Campers will stay in single, air-conditioned dorm rooms. Meals will be served in the Cole Dining Hall.
