Young wizards got the chance to hone their skills during the week-log Harry Potter camp in Anaheim.
It wasn’t the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but campers practiced some of the same skills from the books and movies.
“I like that (at camp) you can make potions and a wand and you get to experience all the fun,” Audrey Holm from the Hufflepuff house said after making her magic potion.
At the arts table, students painted and decorated magic wands while another station made the potions — basically slime.
Everyone participated in Quidditch — the ball and hoop game Harry Potter and his friends play while riding on broomsticks — passing the ball with only one hand as the other held an imaginary broomstick.
More than 130 kids enrolled in the camp that is put on by Anaheim at the Oak Creek Nature Center.
Nine themed camps, including Star Wars, Outdoor Survival and Pirate Week, are offered at this site.
Camps fill up fast and are sold out for this summer.
The center also offers free, public events. Nature Nights on Wednesdays through Aug. 9 and Discover Nature family hikes on Saturdays are two such offerings.
