Subject: Classified Mission recruits -help us find the next Alex Rider!
Turn your students into super agents, watch them reap the rewards of team work, enjoy the thrills of the great outdoors, and ignite a passion for reading with the YHA Alex Rider Classified Mission.
We know how important it is to pick the right residential, which is why we are so proud to have teamed up with Walker Books and author Anthony Horowitz to bring you an exciting new Action Adventure package – YHA Alex Rider Classified Mission.
During this 2, 3 or 4 night residential experience, your students, or ‘agents’ as they will be referred to for the duration of the camp, will be put through their paces as they hone their skills at a variety of action-packed, adrenaline-fuelled activities, as well as a number of spy skills unique to our YHA Alex Rider Classified Mission.
Agents will be encouraged to climb, jump, leap, and step forward into new challenges as they gain new skills, build confidence and enjoy an all-encompassing learning experience. Abseil or climb on ‘real’ rock, learn essential field craft skills, canoe or raft across lakes, design new spy gadgets, crack the codes and hunt down the double agents. There are bags of exhilarating activities that are guaranteed to keep you and your students entertained in the unmissable YHA Alex Rider Classified Mission*. For schools and groups wanting to tackle low-level activities with a spy twist check out our Alex Rider Mission briefing package.
Plus, all participating students will receive a free copy of Stormbreaker, the first book in the Alex Rider series, courtesy of Walker Books, and participating schools will receive exclusive discounts on the Alex Rider series.

Teacher quote:
From the moment we arrived, the special agent mission and new agent names got the group instantly hooked. All the activities linked to the spy theme and gave the trip a new element.
The last day’s activity which led to the discovery of the Alex Rider books hidden in a room was brilliant! It meant we had 30 copies of the book (a rare thing indeed) and we started reading as a class as soon as we got back. We are currently three chapters from the end and the children are as hooked now as they were at the start. We have done lots of literacy work: comparing the book to the film, persuasive writing and lots of vocabulary work based on Horowitz’s rich language. Our science has come from creating spy gadgets for Alex which covers a lot of areas of science in the new National Curriculum.
