CAMP DESCRIPTIONS

Following are some topics your child will explore during this fun five-day camp. These are only a sample of some of the activities that your child will be doing each day. The topics will not necessarily follow this order. However, each of these topics will be included at some point in the camp.

Camp No. 8 – Spy Academy
(For ages 6 - 12)
June 29 - July 3
9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.

Discover Detection – Use your skills of listening, testing, and observation during this day of detection. Investigate fingerprints, handwriting, and shoeprints to reveal the identity of our suspects. Listen to an audio crime story to learn clues needed to solve a mystery.  Learn to view the story from all angles with a nifty new device.

Spy University – Utilize spy gear such as metal detectors, spy ears, and motion sensors to hone your skills. Spies need to understand and use secret codes to pass along important information. Our Mad Science spies will investigate the dancing men code, Braille, and many other ways to share classified information.  Use your new skills to write a message and digestively dispose of it before it can get into the wrong hands.

Sleuths on the Scene – As a spy you will need to learn how to process clues at a scene. Discover proper procedures as we use all of our senses to study and dissect debris for evidence.  Our scientist spies will learn the art of the inflatable fingerprint as they discover perplexing partial and leftover latent prints.

Funky Forensics – Using forensics to evaluate evidence is a huge part of the spy business.  Today we will analyze evidence with chemistry, collection skills, and spy tools. The correct conclusions are critical to solving the crime scene puzzle. We will identify acids and bases as well as synthetic blood samples in our forensic lab.  Today all of your analytical skills will be tested.

Science of Security – Unlock your spy skill as we tackle the toughest security breaches. We will “pick open” locks, sneak past a whispermeter, and create our own security system. Teams will attempt to crack through each other’s security systems and track a treasure.
