June 24 – 28
Full–Join our Waitlist or Enroll in another camp
Design a game of skill or chance to run at our Potter-inspired mystical fair. Craft a creature, welcome visitors to your wand shop, create a potion or prophecy, and whip up some chocolate snitches. The Friday fair raises money for a charity devoted to local kids and other magical creatures.
This week also features a film option— a small band of young actors wave their wands and bring the magic to life. View last year’s film project here. Note: No previous HP experience is required — we revel in the lighter aspects of the storyline.
