A day of camp at-a-glance:

Each camp runs for a 2-week session with hours from 9 – a.m. – 4 p.m. Monday – Friday.

Doors open at 8:30 a.m. for the campers’ arrival with programs beginning at 9 a.m. sharp. Every day, kiddos will learn magic, juggling, puppetry, and other variety arts. They’ll also attend a live magic show by some of Austin’s best professional magicians.

In the magic class, campers learn basic magic skills and secrets, and experience the joy that comes from a trick well performed.

In juggling class, campers learn balancing, plate spinning, and juggling with props like scarves, balls, boxes and rings. After mastering those tricks, they’ll get to try their hand at juggling sticks and the Diablo (a type of Chinese yo-yo). Toward the end of each session, they also get a chance to work with unicycles.

Campers are reminded often about the character traits that make a good magician (coincidentally, they are also the traits that make a great human being). Campers learn the benefits of practice, but also learn that it is OK to fail until you get it right.

Our own Do512 Families have been enrolling our kids in Magic Camp for many years. It’s always a very positive experience in a supportive, fun environment where kids can discover their unique inner Magic. Campers will find themselves surrounded by people who recognize and embrace their uniqueness in a place where they’ll be challenged to master things they never dreamed of.
