Spellbound: A History of Magic

A Camp for Ages 8–12

Step into the real history behind your favourite magic stories! From ancient stone circles to spell books, fortune-telling, and legendary curses, campers will explore where our ideas about magic actually come from. Discovering that the truth is often stranger (and cooler) than fiction.

Each day dives into a new corner of magical history: fairy tale folklore and Celtic legends, the mysterious world of grimoires (real spell books!), tales of shape-shifters and mythical creatures, and the strange true stories behind ghosts and hauntings. We'll trace the thread all the way from ancient legends to the magical worlds of books and movies kids love today.

Campers won't just learn about magic, they'll get hands-on, making their own spooky house decorations, costume accessories, and magical keepsakes inspired by real folklore.

Part history class, part costume workshop, part storytelling adventure — Spellbound turns real legends into an unforgettable week of decorations, keepsakes, and magic your camper will want to show off all season.
