Trent University DNA Forensic Science Camp

March 11, 2015


Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing to you in the hopes of reaching out to students about the exciting opportunities
academic camps possess. Trent University's DNA Forensic Science Camp is a summer camp that
is held on the Trent University campus in Peterborough, ON, and is designed for students ages
13-18 with a keen interest in science, and the ever growing field of forensics.
The Forensic Science Camp aims to stimulate an interest in the sciences by combining the
excitement of crime scene investigation and DNA forensics with the unique educational
opportunity to learn from practicing experts. Campers will hear first-hand from practitioners in
fields such as Bloodstain Pattern Analysis, Forensic Entomology, Law Enforcement, Wildlife
Genetics, DNA Forensics, as well as participate in fun educational activities.
Last year, students from across Canada enjoyed our camp and we look forward to making the
camp an even bigger success this year with new sessions, scenarios, and guest speakers. We offer
full and partial bursaries to students that express financial need, as well as academic excellence.
Enclosed you will find more detailed information on this initiative and you are welcome to visit
our website forensiccamp.nrdpfc.ca or contact the Camp Coordinator Kathleen Dogantzis at
kdogantzis@trentu.ca. We ask that you please provide this letter and the attached materials to
your science teachers.
Sincerely,
Dr. Christopher Kyle (Camp Director) and Kathleen Dogantzis (Camp Coordinator)
