New River Community College will be offering four free summer camps in Dublin and Christiansburg for local middle and high school students.
CSI: Dublin
Twenty-four current 8th through 12th grade students will have the opportunity to solve “The Strange Case of Alespicia Snard” and feel like a detective.
The camp will run June 11 through 15 at NRCC in Dublin. During the week-long, hands-on camp, participants will work outdoors “in the field” as well as process data in the lab. Professor Dennis DuBuc, former police officer and head of NRCC’s administration of justice department, and local law enforcement personnel will help students solve the case.
The week will end with a program open to family and friends for participants to show their work.
Each camper will receive a t-shirt.
Applications are available from the area schools’ guidance counselors and career coaches. Applications are due Monday, May 14, with a $25 refundable deposit.
