tEAMWORK 

We will be welcoming campers ages 6-11. Campers will be placed in pods based on their age group to ensure campers are with their peers. We gear the activities and training to be age-appropriate for each squad to build each camper’s confidence and teamwork skills.

LEADERSHIP: 

A squad is only as good as its leader. Agent 74 is a veteran kid wrangler and agent leader. He prides himself on constantly improving his summer programs every year with innovative curriculum, and more advanced equipment. He surrounds himself with only the most dedicated, energetic, and experienced staff. Agent 74 has over 16 years of teaching experience in Los Angeles and San Francisco. He holds an M.A. and teaching credential from Pepperdine University in Elementary Education and a B.A. in television writing from Emerson College. 

STAFF: 

Agents are lead by instructors with extensive backgrounds in teaching, theater and athletics. All staff complete a background check and a TB test before guiding agents through their training and missions. 

HANDS-ON SKILLS & TRAINING:

Self-Defense: Aspiring agents will learn kid-friendly self-defense skills that will strengthen their stamina, focus and confidence. Self-defense techniques are taught using padded shields, mitts & break boards. We will hone our self-defense with “AABCD” skills that emphasize Awareness, Avoidance “Back Off” (voice power) Confidence and D for Defend.

Swordsmanship: Agents will learn swordsmanship skills and techniques with Duel Safe Swords. Our instructors will guide aspiring agents step-by-step as they learn the correct stance and gain critical thinking skills to improve their reaction time and focus.

Agility Courses: Campers will use their swordsmanship skills to sharpen their focus and stamina during our outdoor agility courses. Agents will also test their skills during rounds of laser tag (laser tag equipment and eye protection will be provided to each camper).

These activities are an excellent way for our agents to enhance their coordination and balance, and movement skills, while also increasing cognitive function.

CRAFTING:

Paracord crafting will allow campers to develop knot and rope techniques, as well as sharpen their fine motor skills. Agents will also have the opportunity to design and craft cardboard swords and shields so they can continue their swordsmanship training at home.

FINGERPRINT aNALYSIS:

Campers will learn about the variety of ways to collect fingerprints–pencil graphite, ink and putty. Campers will have the opportunity to make and use putty to lift fingerprints. Campers will analyze their fingerprints to determine what patterns they contain–loop, arch or whorl.

MISSIONS:

Campers will use their training to solve a spy mission. Every Friday, headquarters will assign our aspiring agents a spy assignment. Campers will work in teams to locate clues, decipher coded messages and crack the codes of word locks to receive an assignment status of “mission accomplished”.
