Dragon's Eye Ventures is looking for an intern for the Summer 2014 season. This is a unique opportunity to learn about the inner workings of adventure-based education. This is an unpaid internship that runs from Friday, June 27 through Friday, Aug. 8--six weeks and a day of adventuring with young people!

The intern will work side-by-side with Rebecca this summer, playing character roles in the adventures, running games and team challenge initiatives, helping detectives with their projects, and assisting with the daily tasks, such as snack and lunch. The hours are 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM with a half-hour break around lunch time.

Applicants may send a resume and coverletter to dragonseyeadventures@gmail.com.

Session IA: Ragabash the Rude

The Serpent's Tooth
in its raw form waiting for
the scrimshaw map

Session 1A has been added to the summer 2014 adventures as an additional mystery for ages 6 - 9. The mystery for this week is "Ragabash the Rude." A missing scrimshaw on an old sea serpent’s tooth leads the Detectives on a one-of-a-kind journey aboard The Roustabout, the ship carrying the notorious Ragabash the Rude and his band of pirates known as the Rabblerousers.

There are two paths through this adventure and the group much choose between them: Infiltrate the pirate and follow the story disguised as Rabblerousers or join Ragabash's nemesis, Captain Blunderbuss and the crew of The Gusty Gull. Either path leads to trouble on the seven seas, so our Detectives better have their wits and their sea legs about them!

Our art projects depend on the path the Detectives choose--pirate bandanas or British Navy tricorn hats. We'll be the best-dressed sailors on the campus this week. We will also be making our own scrimshaw serpent's teeth.

With the first session nearly full (one space left) and requests coming for additional weeks for our youngest detectives, Dragon's Eye Ventures is adding one more week to the summer offering for ages 6 - 9. Session IA will run from July 7 through July 11 as a five-day mystery.

The adventure fee is $250, and After Hours is $50. If you have already registered, just print out the second sheet of the new registration form and send that along with the payment.

Our mystery this week will be "Ragabash the Rude"--a wonderful romp on the seven seas with Ragabash the Rude, captain of The Roustabout and leader of a crew of pirates known as the Rabblerousers.
