Spy Girls
Spies, Courage and Skills
Another mission in more ways than ever before at this year’s popular Spy Girls camp. You may come as a new recruit or a seasoned agent; yet never be overconfident, as you do not know what you will be asked to do at this camp. Train to be cautious, hone your skills in awareness and intuition, learn self-defense, and rely on your memory to become masters of deception. You will need these skills to complete the ultimate mission of Operation XX (sorry … confidential information). More activities include attending Charm School, making book slips, LaserShot gun safety/target practice, collecting secret information, and cracking clues to pass the tests of becoming a competent secret agent. Real girl spies throughout history saved thousands of lives doing what you are only playing, but when you leave this camp, you will never forget the strength, courage, and sacrifices they made for a better world. And, shhhh … don’t forget the trip to the International Spy Museum in Washington, D.C., all included in the fee. For ages 11 and up (26 girls & adults min./40 girls & adults max.).
