2018 FBI Agent



 FBI Camp 2018


This little dude was so exited to be at camp!

 The senior agents were looking official with sunglasses, shirt and tie, and attitude! They greeted the potential agents and ID's were checked upon arrival by senior agents. To enter the training facility agent candidate's had to have a hand scan. Once allowed entry, fingerprints were added to their ID cards.
The first challenge was for the candidates to figure out where the mystery map would take us. It turned out to be a splash pad and park. Each physical accomplishment reached earned  letter to add to a wristband which spelled  L U N C H. It was hard but some even conquered fears.


 







Of course the splash pad was utilized!
These agents saved the animals of the planet from becoming extinct by detecting and disarming an explosive device!

 Agents received more clues that lead them to the ingredients to make their own pizzas.

These FBI agents even learned a little about forensics. When we took their fingerprints to add to their ID's (that they had received as part of their 'official' letter inviting them to be a candidate of FBI training camp), a fingerprint was also put on a small square of paper. They had to record in their notebook whose print was on the paper by matching it with each others print in the ID. I had also put a few weird things on cards and put tape over them. Like hair, food coloring for blood, a fingernail clipping, etc. I wish I had spent more time on the 'Crime Lab'. It was fun and the kids really got into it.


The GIANT slip n slide was a hit! These agents were fearless! Afterward, the agents had to detonate the bombs (black balloons) to find out the next activity. We made "I Spy" bottles. Small water bottles filled with rice and about 20 small odds and ends (safety pin, pompom, bead, pasta, penny, etc). Add a  HOT GLUED lid and a label with the list taped onto the bottle. This is the take home craft along with the kit made from a dollar store binder pencil pouch (reusable in the future) with a webbing strap added. The kit held a magnifying glass, pencil and notebook, mustache, and sunglasses. We made binoculars by coloring toilet tissue rolls that the agents colored and then taped together and added a yarn strap.



We had a 'badge pinning 'ceremony and called the agents up one at a time to receive their official badge and get a congratulatory hug from mom and dad. Then we went in the house to eat but..... There was a loud thud and a scream "Oh no! The butler had been murdered!" Hence the chalk outline (that had been concealed under the rug).

The parents had all received invitations from 'The Butler' to attend dinner on pick-up night. Upon arrival they were each given a short description of who they were to portray and what their reaction should be when arrested for the murder of the butler! A very creative grandpa put together the interrogation room. A convincing looking battery was hooked up to the metal chair the suspect sat in. The accused had to place their hand in the pan of water on the table. There was also truth serum to drink and silly string to spray if the answer seemed untruthful. The parents were very involved and made it fun for the agents. In the end, the guilty party really hammed it up! 

 





Take note of the little agent partaking of the truth serum! And the accused own son was getting a kick out of dad's interrogation!




Of course we ended with a pinata (couldn't find a 'bomb', go figure, so we painted a Pokémon) to send the kids home on a sugar high!
