A magical week-long event for campers completing 5th though 8th grades
| Imagine yourself in an invisibility cloak playing hide and seek at
camp — and the rest of the campers have a Marauder’s Map! In the
Herbology class we’ll be looking at plants and their practical uses.
Then have a handful of Bertie Bott’s
Every Flavor Beans and watch as the pictures move and talk. One never
knows — the campers may even learn to fly! Harry Potter will be at
Pilgrim Center this summer! The theme for all of the events at Pilgrim Center this summer will be “On the Way” — discovering our faith journey not as a destination, but as a process along every step of our lives. We’ll gather around the fire in the “common room” to talk about some tangible journeys we’ve taken and share some of our own journeys of faith. Throughout the week we’ll connect examples from the Harry Potter books with journeys of trust, faith, action, and fun. We’ll focus on one Harry Potter book each day, starting with “The Sorcerer’s Stone” on Monday and ending with “The Order of the Phoenix” on Friday. Each evening we’ll watch and discuss a few clips from the day’s movie. On Friday evening we’ll go to see the new Harry Potter movie which is scheduled to be released on that day. Harry Potter isn’t a religious book — and we’re not trying to make it into one. But, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and the students and staff at Hogwarts face many everyday dilemmas and challenges in their lives – just like each one of us. There are questions of making right choices, making friends, being a good friend, and including others. There are numerous examples of difficult decisions, doing the right thing even in the face of significant odds, facing and naming your fears, and being trustworthy. While none of us actually live the life of Harry or Hermione, we do have a lot in common with them. |

Of course, there will be all kinds of “normal” camp activities like
swimming, boating, nature hikes, arts and crafts, and s’mores over an open campfire. Sprinkled throughout the week campers will participate in activities taken straight from the pages of the Harry Potter books — including a game of Quidditch! We’re even going to set the dining room up to look like the dining room at Hogwarts! This camp is offered for campers who have completed 5th through 8th grades. Please note that this event will include a trip to the movie theater at the end of the week. When you register for this camp you are also giving permission for your minor child to go to the movie which is expected to be rated PG13. While we don’t know exactly what will be in the movie, the staff will be prepared to help process the movie in context with the other books and, more importantly, in the context of real life. Come, join in the fun of Harry Potter. Explore your own faith and friendships through this unique camp event! Pack your Harry Potter books, any other Harry Potter stuff you may have, and get ready to “take off” for a memorable week at camp! |
