Students participated in several team challenges at Camp Hogwarts
(OLDENBURG, Ind.) -- More than 50 local students participated in Camp Hogwarts at Oldenburg Academy last week.
The program was hosted by Genesis: Pathways to Success as part of their Summer of STREAM (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics).
Camp Hogwarts was designed to help students built common classroom skills in a reimagined setting.
Students participated in team challenges such as Quidditch, the Tri-Wizard Relay Race, to classes such as herbology and care for magical creatures, which put a fantasy spin on classical academic subjects like chemistry, art and biology.
Milan High School teacher Katie McCord served as a camp volunteer.
"With this setup, I think kids are able to work a lot on collaborative learning, and they are able to develop a lot of communication skills through group games," McCord said. "The style helps them get interested in learning. Especially with herbology, where they learn some science.”
The camp welcomed 53 students who are in grades fifth through eighth.
