Spies in Disguise (1st-3rd) Full Day

For curious mini gumshoes, Spies in Disguise is the ultimate week of mystery, mischief, and mind-bending clues. Perfectly packed with cases to crack and secrets to uncover, campers transform into super sleuths as they learn to code and decode (the old-school analog way!), craft clever disguises, and design their own hidden messages and tricky clues. It’s the perfect first step into Spy Science — one of CJ’s most popular themes — and an ideal fit for the playful tricksters and creative problem-solvers among us.

Projects include Detective Disguises, analog Coding & Decoding tools, Secret Message Makers, Fingerprint & Footprint forensics, Hidden Pathway puzzles, Flashlight Wands, Magic 8 Balls, and — of course — solving the weeklong mystery.

Notes Curious Jane does not provide food. Please pack a nut-free, non-perishable lunch and 2–3 snacks each day. Half-day campers only need snacks and do not require a lunch. Each camper receives one camp t-shirt per summer. A second t-shirt can be purchased for $12 and will feature the same design in a different color. This is a great option for campers attending multiple weeks of camp.
