This really is a top day out where children learn just what it takes to be a spy! The whole day is packed full of hands on spy activities. The experience starts with looking at hidden cameras, how they operate, how to conceal them and how they work. You'll even be shown bugging devices and recorders used to sneakily monitor a target.

Then it's on to the hi-tech laser combat system for a 'shoot out' aimed at practicing your accuracy on enemy agents. It's all done by laser so there's no chance of injuries but it's still great fun as you can change to laser gun to your weapon of choice - be it grenade launcher or machine gun fire.

Next your skills at code breaking will be put to the test. The pressure is on as the clock ticks away? Do you pull the red or the blue wire?  Will you crack it with seconds to spare or will your time run out! You'll start to sweat as much as Jack Bauer at this rate. 

Pistol training will test your skills in a quick draw competition to see who has the fastest reaction. Don't worry, there's no firing during this training, it's all about speed and technique.

Finally the laser challenge provides a real test, you will need stealth and agility to get past the laser beam maze and crack the safe. One false move and the alarms will be triggered. A spy camp certificate will be presented at the end of the course to show you have made the grade. Chances are that your dad arranged your Spy camp experience so when it comes to his birthday why not have a look at our range of gifts for men days out on our home page. 

The experience lasts for three hours and takes place at a training venue in Milton Keynes. All instructors have extensive experience and have been fully vetted to work with children.  Maximum group size will be 30 with a maximum instructor ratio of 10:1. More exciting  kids days out ideas and unusual things to do are available on our main kids activities section.
