Summer Camps

This immersive residential summer camp introduces Maine high school students to the science, practice, and professional applications of K9 searching and detection. Through a combination of classroom learning and supervised fieldwork, students explore how working dogs detect scent, learn tasks, and operate alongside human handlers in real-world environments. 

Students work in small teams and gain direct, hands-on experience with trained K9s while learning the scientific principles that guide modern detection and search work.
