Potter Camp Craft
Camp Description: Camp Craft includes beginning art, art journaling/smash booking, endless games, random bouts of dancing and just all out having a blast.  Our goal is to teach campers to find their own creativity, to embrace what makes them unique as artists, to make lots of mistakes and keep going, to form new friendships, and to stir up a new appreciation for God's beautiful creation.  This year's Potter-themed Craft Camp will offer lots of Potter themed crafts, let the kids use their imagination to create their own houses.  We will do art experiments in Potions, play Quidditch, and so much more!  Potter Camp will be $200 because we are packing so much into our 4 day camp! We warn you if your kid hasn't read all the books there is a very real possibility for spoilers.
