Step into the spellbinding world of Hogwarts at Columbus Children’s Theatre’s Wonders of Wizardry Summer Camp! This week-long theatrical adventure invites students ages 5-15 to explore the magic of Harry Potter through a mix of on-stage performance and backstage technical wizardry. Sorted into age-appropriate “houses,” participants will rotate through classes in acting, singing, and dancing while also delving into backstage arts like set design, costuming, lighting, sound, and stagecraft.

In on-stage classes, young witches and wizards will bring the magical world of Harry Potter to life, embodying their favorite characters from the wizarding universe. From perfecting the dramatic intensity of casting spells to harmonizing in enchanting melodies and choreographing movements that evoke the magic of Hogwarts, students will develop their performing skills in a fantastical setting. Teamwork and creativity will take center stage as campers prepare for a final showcase that brings the wizarding world to life on stage.

Behind the scenes, campers will learn the secrets of theatrical wizardry. They’ll design sets that transport audiences to the Great Hall, create costumes that channel the iconic styles of Hogwarts students and professors, and master lighting and sound to cast a magical glow over the production. Whether crafting the whimsy of Diagon Alley or the dark intrigue of the Forbidden Forest, students will gain hands-on experience in the art of stagecraft.

The week concludes with a spectacular performance where all the magic comes together—on stage and behind the curtain. Whether you're a brave Gryffindor, a clever Ravenclaw, a kind-hearted Hufflepuff, or a cunning Slytherin, this camp promises a week of creativity, camaraderie, and the enchanting wonders of wizardry!
