At our Harry Potter themed "Magic for Muggles" encampment girls had an opportunity to participate in many exciting themed events. We performed the Tri-Wizard Tournament on the low ropes course. We went to Potions class and made ice cream. We watched a fun magician and finished off the weekend with games in the field and s'mores!
