Saturday, March 14, 2026 - 5:45pm to Sunday, March 15, 2026 - 8:00am

Can you crack the case? Grab some pizza then jump into workshops to build your detective skills: 

  • Memory 
  • Fingerprinting 
  • Blood analysis 
  • Other evidence 

Next, it’s time to investigate the crime scene! Collect evidence, analyze clues, assess suspects, and collaborate with your team. Who do YOU think is the culprit? Plus, take home a special gift—a secret message communicator! 

Doors open at 5:45pm for check-in and pizza dinner. Programming kicks off at 6:15pm and wraps up by 9:00pm. Following programs, roll out your sleeping bags and settle in for a night surrounded by our exhibits. Late-night snacks and a movie make the overnight adventure even more exciting! Enjoy breakfast on Sunday morning before departing by 8:00am. 

If you're involved in Scouting, this program fully meets the requirements for the following badges: Junior Detective (Girl Scouts) and Bear Forensics (Cub Scouts).
