Watts Center to transform into Hogwarts for camp Anna Schultz Editorial Intern Journey through the wonderful wizarding world of Harry Potter with the Glencoe Park District’s second-ever Harry Potter: Wizarding World summer camp. From 9 a.m.-12 p.m. Aug. 19-23, young Harry Potter fans between the ages of 7 and 9 will have the chance to bring the mystical books and movies to life at the Watts Center — also known as Hogwarts — at 305 Randolph St., Glencoe. “Campers will get to see what it’s like to be a Hogwarts student for a week,” said Erin Classen, spokesperson for the Glencoe Park District. The young witches and wizards will begin their time at Hogwarts being sorted into one of the four houses — gryffindor, hufflepuff, slytherin or ravenclaw — by the infamous Sorting Hat. They will then use their magic, as well as their imaginations, technology, and science to work together and build a working Goblet of Fire. “They are using interesting technology, like the Arduino microcontroller to create a working Goblet of Fire, which will react when items are placed into the goblet,” Classen said. “It’s a fun way to learn about chemistry,” she added. Hogwarts students will use chemistry to make some special colorful bubbling potions in their potions classes throughout the week. At the end of the camp, the wizards and witches will even get to use a green screen to make their own Invisibility Cloak. “They will get to turn the amazing invisibility cloak into a reality,” Classen said. “The company TinkRworks contacted us with the idea and they created the curriculum for us,” she added. This is the second year of this unique-themed camp and the Glencoe Park District’s partnership with TinkRworks. “The camp allows kids to explore science in a creative way,” Classen said. The Harry Potter: Wizarding World camp will only hold 12 campers, creating a friendly, welcoming environment. The exciting camp experience will allow kids to bring home their own goblet, meet more wizards and witches, and of course show off their magical wizarding powers. Other STEAM camps the Glencoe Park District offers each summer include: Bionic Bike, Rockets and STEAM Academy.

Once these agreements are in place the Village will work with the Cook County Forest Preserve to secure a license agreement and develop engineering plans for work on the project.
