Classes were taught by magicians from Canada and the US.

Every day included card classes which were divided into three groups as determined by each camper’s skill level, with the first level focusing on handling cards and self-working tricks, the middle level introducing all manner of card sleight-of-hand, and the highest level focusing on theory and the finer points of presentation.

Magic ‘elective classes’, selected daily by each camper, included coin magic, rope magic, restaurant magic, busking, balloon twisting, linking rings, zombie ball, juggling, in-depth Erdnase topics, and specific tricks or sleights from the camp’s special guests.

Every day also included swim time (including a water trampoline), and physical activities like canoeing, kayaking, running, scavenger hunts, and even a garbage collection competition.

A couple of times a week, there also were brainstorming workshops on stage performance and presentation.

Every evening featured a full-scale, multiple entertainer show of pro magicians, most of whom were week-long special guests and instructors, but often including touring magicians who were able to make a special trip to camp.  The final night of camp always was the ‘camper show’ featuring ONLY campers, many of whom did shows using skills they’d learned that week, and all technical tasks (sound, lights, etc) were performed by campers who had participated in the Stage Technology workshops throughout the week.  Oh!  And we always had a dance and a campfire!

Meals were served in the ‘mess hall’, and almost always featured games, songs, and prize give-aways.  There was a snack time every day, and one meal always was an outdoor BBQ.

At night, campers slept in cabins, divided by gender & age, where each cabin had a counsellor and CIT (counsellor in training).

Of course, wherever you looked, people were doing magic.  Cards, coins, ropes, levitations, escapes, and whatever else you can imagine.
