Harry Potter Wizarding Tech

Summer Camp (ages 8–16)

Accio imagination! Campers step into Hogwarts through acting and stage “spell work” as they explore characters, scenes, and magical movement.

With house-based activities, dramatic storytelling, and ensemble practice, students learn to wield their voice, curiosity, and confidence like trained wizards. Learn the technical elements of how to create MAGIC on the stage in this camp. No real focus on singing for this camp.

*FOR THOSE NOT INTERESTED IN BEING ON STAGE BUT INSTEAD LEARNING TECHNICAL ELEMENTS LIKE LIGHTS, SOUND, STAGE MANAGING, SCENIC DESIGN, THIS CAMP IS ALSO FOR YOU!!
