*** PARENTAL PREP is EASY but essential to the success of this mission! Please read ALL information before registering!!! Safety is of the utmost importance so please review the PARENTAL GUIDANCE section. *** Spy Kids is back with a new critical mission!!! All the candy has gone missing… all except the tootsie rolls... and no one knows who's taken it. Can you imagine a Halloween without Snickers, Reese's peanut butter cups, Nerds, Airheads, Mounds, and all the other delicious sugary goodness? Neither can I, that's why I, Agent Curly, need your help. Your Mission, if you choose to accept it, is to find out who took the candy and where it is, or there’ll be a lot of disappointed kids… and parents. Dress in your best costume or disguise and get ready for a Mysteriolicious adventure! DESCRIPTION In this Spy Kids Academy** style one day mission, recruits will engage in S.T.E.A.M. activities (science, technology, engineering, art, and math) to find the missing candy... hint... it may even be in their very own home. Recruits will heighten their power of observation, unlock lateral and critical thinking skills, decipher codes and clues, and create a Halloween inspired craft to complete their mission to find the missing Halloween candy. Succeed in finding the missing candy and "taste" the benefits of a job well done. Fail and... well, failure is not an option! The fate of the Halloween is in your hands. Do you have what it takes to find the candy? Join us and find out! **Spy Kids Academy completion is helpful, but not necessary. Please note, there will be a "treasure" hunt in the child's home and PARENTS WILL NEED TO SET IT UP BEFORE CLASS. There are 6 clues and it shouldn't take more than 15 minutes, if that long.** IMPORTANT information for PARENTS: Please have the 3 HANDOUTS prepared and 6 clues hidden and set up before class starts. Everything will be uploaded to the classroom page upon registration and delivered via email. It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to contact me before the class begins if you will not be able to have the materials printed out and set up in the correct locations. We can always work through issues in advance, but it is heartbreaking when that one camper cannot fully participate because nothing is printed out and set up for him or her. Parents should be close by in case their child needs help finding the clues and hidden items, however, I will also be there to assist each child with verbal and visual prompts. I guide them in discovering the answers, but each camper is on a separate mission in their own home. Mission problems can be avoided if parents read the step-by-step, detailed, easy set up checklist and follow it accordingly. It will be posted on the CLASSROOM PAGE upon registration. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION and understanding that this class requires PARENTAL PARTICIPATION, especially for the younger spies. But kids and parents say it's worth it! *** ***IMPORTANT: When spies do not have their supplies properly PREPARED, LABELED, and ORGANIZED, it slows down the class for everyone else, and then it can get rushed at the end to try and get all the fun material in. So parents, please do not sign up for this camp if you cannot prepare the materials in advance. I'm a mom of four, and I remember those crazy days of trying to manage all my kids' activities, so I designed the PARENTAL PREP to be EASY and NOT overwhelming, if you prepare in advance. It is NOT a lot of work, if you plan accordingly. And the supply list and materials are sent in advance. So don't wait until the night before to prepare or you may miss some important information. ****
Learning Goals
Students will learn how spies use the "Scientific Method" to solve problems and answer question. They will heighten their power of observation using the five senses, unlock lateral and critical thinking skills, decipher codes and clues, and problem solve.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from Oral Roberts University
I'm a published fiction (mystery) and nonfiction author, former homeschool mom of four, and have taught and tutored all ages for close to 20 years. For the last 7 years, I've taught Spy Kids, first as a summer camp, then as a full curriculum with a homeschool co-op. Just this summer, over 300 children took my Spy Kids Academy camp. I created this course to give my Spy Kids graduates another mission to solve, however I've been designing and conducting successful interactive parties and programs for the last 25 years. I'm excited to take this new mission, and others, online to reach more students with the fun and educational activities.
