They also craft wands or amulets using materials such as cardboard, foil, beads, and paint, and explore basic paper mechanisms to create pop-up castles or enchanted forests that open into lively, three-dimensional scenes. The Hub on Canal hosts the camp in a welcoming, inclusive setting that celebrates imagination. Participants are encouraged to think big, spin stories, and proudly share the worlds they create. Open to students entering grades 1–6. The camp fee is $175. Registration is nonrefundable. If a child cannot attend, the fee will be treated as a donation to The Hub on Canal and directed to future student scholarships. For arrival and dismissal, a parent or legal guardian must sign children in and out each day. Please give advance notice for any early or late drop-off or pick-up, provide the full names of all authorized adults, and note that anyone other than a parent or guardian will need a valid photo ID at pick-up.
