Harry Potter Camp

Ever wondered how you can take a trip to Hogwarts? a group of students are doing that this week. Nearly 60 students are headed to a magical world this summer, as part of a harry potter camp in Iowa. The camp, organized by Ava Hoelscher and Jamie Vondra, who are just going into 8th grade, gives students the chance to experience everything from being sorted into different houses to playing Quidditch. These two girls, with the help of their former teacher, started the camp based on their love for harry potter. The camp was originally scheduled for just 20-25 students in one session, but as word spread, they had to expand to two sessions and nearly 60 students total. Students went to Ollivander’s to get their wands on the first day of camp, and also got to try their hand at potions class, making a draught of living death. Students will also get the opportunity to learn, there is a writing activity planned for everyday of the camp. Harry Potter camp runs through the end of the week.
