Specialty Camps

For the last 7 years, Camp Kern has played Harry Potter as a Big Game. Multiple Wednesday nights each summer are spent helping Harry and his friends save Hogwarts from Voldemort. These 7 years have been very informative and fun, but we're ready for more.

Now, for the first time ever, Harry Potter is coming to an ENTIRE WEEK at Camp Kern! From the moment you arrive, until you check out on Saturday, you will cease to be a Muggle, and will enter the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as a student. Do you have what it takes to learn Potions? Are you ready for daily Quiddich practice? Do you know your spellbook forwards and back?

Tons of activity, imagination, and fun will fill this week. Come prepared to immerse yourself in the world of Harry Potter, while enjoying all that Camp Kern has to offer!

Girls Only! Come and experience a great adventure! We'll live in rustic cabins; enjoy camp's adventurous activities like low ropes, climbing, hiking, zip lining, tower climbing, and more!

Spend a week hanging out with just the girls! Participate in traditional camp activities like the climbing wall, canoeing, and arts and crafts, as well as, focus on specific topics such as self defense, friendship self esteem, and team building. We'll finish the week off with a trip to yellow springs for a picnic and hike.
