Where is Wizardry Summer Day Camp?
Wizardry Summer Day Camp, formerly located at an educational institution in Lowry from 2002-2023, has since moved to a new location. Just like the stairs move around the castle… sometimes the whole camp moves, too! We have been at this new location hidden inside Christ United Methodist Church at 690 N Colorado Blvd since summer of 2024.
What ages do you accept as campers?
Our camp is a multi-age program that includes children ranging from going into third grade through middle school. While state licensing measures eligibility by age, our curriculum is designed based on grade level. We have found that children who have not yet completed second grade benefit from waiting an additional year before joining us. This extra year helps younger children develop the skills, confidence, and readiness needed to fully engage with our camp's unique activities and dynamics, particularly in a setting with older peers. Our goal is to provide every camper with a fun, enriching, and developmentally appropriate experience, and this policy helps us achieve that. We require campers to be a minimum of eight years old and a maximum of thirteen years old.
Does my child have to have read the books? What book will you be focusing on this summer?
No, campers don’t to have read the books, however they will get more out of the week if they are familiar with the characters, terminology and places in the wizarding world. One of our activities during the week is trivia, so students who know the books do have a bit of an advantage there, but others learn quickly. For the 2027 season, we will be exploring Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (Book 4) by JK Rowling.
What activities will the students participate in while at camp?
● Being sorted into houses● Shopping for their wizarding supplies (robes, wands, etc.) ● Creating quidditch player jerseys ● Caring for wands, learning spells and dueling practices● Potions class● Divination● Care of Magical Creatures● Writing for a wizarding newspaper● Team building and card trading● A magical sporting tournament
Does my child need additional money to shop for their wizarding supplies on Monday afternoon?
No! The materials fee included in the camp registration goes toward all of these “purchases” the students make in our magical shops. Please do not send any money to camp :)
Does my child need to bring anything with them to camp?
A complete supply list will be included with your camper’s acceptance letter. Students who have attended camp in the past may bring any materials they previously acquired if they’d like (cloaks, wands, etc). But by no means is this required! All students will have the opportunity to “purchase” these items at wizarding shops on Monday afternoon. We do require that all students come with:
- A snack
- A lunch
- A water bottle
- Sunscreen
We advise that students do NOT bring anything of value to camp (official souvenirs, cash, tablets, or electronic devices for example).
