Secrets of the Forbidden Forest

This camp is sold out! Please sign up for the waitlist and we will reach out if a spot becomes available.

You were caught getting into mischief by none other than Professor Snape, himself. Now you are serving detention with Hagrid in the Forbidden Forest. Oh, do not worry about all the stories you have been told; worry about the ones you have not! Strange and fantastical beasts roam these woods at night. Complete your duties and get out before dawn. We would hate for another group of students go missing…
