Step into the wizarding world of Harry Potter. This magical week starts with a house sorting ceremony, then a bit of wandlore where students make their own wands. What will the core of your wand be? Unicorn Hair, Phoenix Feather, Dragon Heart String or perhaps hairs from a Veela? Throughout the week students will attend classes specific to Hogwarts and special events that are generally science based. For example, in Potions, students will learn some basic chemistry, as well as create their own edible potion. Other classes include Care of Magical Creatures, Ancient Runes, and Charms to name a few. Special events may include a search for the Sorcerer's Stone, a Magical Creature Quest, and other fun Harry Potter related games and challenges.
*Please note students will spend less time in the outdoors during this camp and it does not include the outdoor education component of the regular camps.
