Does your student love the world of Magic? In this camp we will share our passion for the Harry Potter Book Series and immerse ourselves in elements of this world. In this three day summer camp, all the young witches and wizards will have fun socializing and crafting with other fans of the Harry Potter books. Our wizarding classes will be laid out in this schedule. Day 1: Magical Meet and Greet and Book Club discussion of the series. Day 2: Time to visit the wand shop. We will craft our own wands Day 3: Potions class. We will make slime together Students may wear, if they desire, their costume or other themed items. They can also bring items to show off. I will be attending in costume myself. Day 2 making the wands does require the use of a hot glue gun. So a parent may want to be off camera to help on that day.
