I do like the blueprints idea via a mole/spy in the Capitol. If the surveillance distraction is going to be something in the sky, we definitely need to override Gamemaker controls with hacking. If it's a land-based distraction, supplies and instructions need to be smuggled in for Tributes to implement before surveillance is cut. Materials for small bombs have been sent in before. The Capitol might just expect them to use these to kill each other instead of planting them strategically to bring down part of the mountains.
Another possibility for making the kids appear dead before surveillance is cut is to smuggle instructions and sleeping darts that will temporarily stop their vitals. Trusted Tributes can then use them on the kids after herding them to the right spot.
We must remember to give instructions to dig out the trackers, if anyone other than d13 people are going to help directly with the kids. Also, some way to "accidentally" destroy or make trackers inaccessible later. Bombs planted by Tributes after the fact would erase the most evidence.
Altair has the ability to see invisible ink, so if we go the sponsor letter route, he'd be able to receive what would just look like nonsense or a copy of Celebrus to anyone else, as long as there's a small clue to let him know to look with his other eyes. He can also use his Eagle Vision to track people down, see enemies in hiding, or identify d13 people as allies. He would work with them more readily with less explanation needed. He could help find the kids by stealth, incapacitating them if necessary. If so many kids suddenly cooperate with strangers, it could raise suspicions.
