Calling all boys and girls who hunger for adventure and knowledge! The upstairs of Little Shop of Stories has turned into a giant Magic Tree House and it's whisking campers off to different places in history just like Jack and Annie. Join us for a week of dinosaurs, ninjas, vikings, cowboys, mummies, wild animals, and so much more! We'll spend lots of time doing games, activities, and crafts based on each place we'll visit. Please note that it is helpful if your camper is familiar with the Magic Tree House series before starting camp. Campers may not sign up for both weeks of Magic Tree House Camp.
Please note that this camp will start on Memorial Day. We realize that a lot of parents do have to work this day and we want to be there for you.

Do you love superheroes (and villains)? Do you know just what your secret identity would be? Do you wish you could break boards with your bare hands, leap tall buildings in a single bound or run around the world in one minute? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then Heroes and Villains Camp is for you! Each camper will design his or her own super identity, with costumes, back stories, catch phrases, nemesis, and lots more. We'll explore what exactly makes a hero a hero and a villain a villain, in real life as well as in comics. Be prepared to be creative and get your hands dirty- we'll build a lair, learn some awesome fighting moves, and explore Decatur's heroic side. And this year we have an action theme, leading up to an amazing action-packed finale!

And, like young gods in the series, boys in this camp may just discover that their greatest fears are, indeed, their greatest strengths. So answer the ancient call, young man, and join the Sons of Olympus!
