Lastly, campers learn about alchemy, divination, astronomy and how animals communicate in the Harry Potter camp. Campers can also look forward to making potions, a magic wand workshop and playing Quidditch.
All campers receive two snacks and a healthy lunch each day, with options for halal, vegetarian, gluten-free and other menus available on request.
