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 some of their own edible potions.  Other classes include Care of Magical Creatures, Ancient Runes, and Charms to name a few.  Special events will include a search for the Sorcerer's Stone, competing in the Tri-Wizard Tournament, and a Horcrux Hunt.    
*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.

Dinosaur and fossil-loving kids will love this camp as they "dig" into paleontology.   Come experience the life of a paleontologist as you learn about dinosaurs and other prehistoric life, how they are classified and when they lived.  Learn about the different kinds of fossils, how they were made, and collect fossils in the field!   There  will be more hands-on fun as you make replicas of 3 types of fossils, study footprints and find out all they can tell us, and participate in a mock dig!  Make your own volcano and find out why some scientists think they may have played a part in the extinction of dinosaurs.
