Wizarding School at Linden Hall

Inspired by the Wizarding World of J.K. Rowling and the Harry Potter series, for one week Linden Hall is transformed into an American Wizarding School. Campers are sorted into one of four Houses named for the first four Heads of School at Linden Hall. Participants have time to bond with their housemates and compete together to earn House points. Campers also take classes such as Potion Making, Nature Studies, Transformative Spells, and the Making of Magical Objects. For these classes, campers are divided into age groups, and the content of their studies may vary by age. Additionally, campers try out clubs, such as Wand Dueling and the Gobstones Club. Returning campers may repeat some activities from previous years, but there are also plenty of new and exciting activities for everyone.

For an even more immersive experience, the Wizarding theme is continued during Overnight Camp. Joined by extended day campers in the afternoon session, campers play spellbinding games and create magical crafts. They also have the opportunity to go into town one afternoon, similar to visiting Hogsmeade. In the evening session, overnight campers go on “after hours” quests in which they are given daily tasks that build into a week-long adventure based on those of Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

While no prior knowledge is necessary, campers who have some familiarity with J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter, either through the books or the movies, will have a greater appreciation for this camp theme.
