Detective - Junior Camp
Join us for summer 2026 for this fun Detective week at our day camp!
Our Detective week invites campers into a world of puzzles, riddles, and mysterious clues waiting to be cracked. Throughout the week, campers take on hands‑on challenges that sharpen their observation skills, teamwork, and logical thinking. They’ll learn real detective techniques like fingerprinting, code‑breaking, and evidence gathering as they work through daily mini‑mysteries. Campers will tackle whodunit scenarios, follow clue trails, and piece together information to solve camp‑wide cases. Each day brings a new twist, encouraging creativity, curiosity, and problem‑solving. By the end of the week, campers will feel like true junior detectives — confident, clever, and ready for their next big mystery.
