Welcome to Hogwarts! You can invite Dobby, but please don't ask Lord Voldemort to join us!
The best way to spark a love of reading is to find a book that captures you. For many students, and Ms. Barnes, this book is Harry Potter. Please join Ms. Barnes as she brings this wizarding world alive! This course will allow students to delve deeper into their love of Harry Potter through numerous activities and projects. Students will be sorted into houses, study and create spells, analyze characters, practice potions, and expand their knowledge of the wizarding world. It doesn’t matter if you have only read one of the books or all seven; if you are interested in life at Hogwarts then you are welcome!
This half-day camp is for students who will be entering 3rd - 6th grade for the 2026-27 school year. Please enroll your student in the grade they will be in the fall of 2026.
Teaching this camp is Mychala Barnes, 4th grade teacher at CSS.
This one-week camp will run the week of July 6-10 OR July 13-17 (the same camp curriculum runs both weeks). Non-ESUSD students welcome!
Does your student want to stay the full day? Great because we have Afternoon Summer Fun from 12:30 pm to 5:00 pm for all five weeks of camp! The participants will enjoy 4 ½ hours of unstructured fun, both indoors and out, under the supervision of ESUSD personnel. You can add this option to this registration or come back and register separately.
SUPPORT THE CAMP THAT SUPPORTS YOUR SCHOOL! Our camps are taught by ESUSD teachers or Ed! associates, so your enrollment supports local teachers and community members. All profits go directly back to ESUSD through the grant Ed! pays to the district. Assisting the teachers are motivated ESHS high school students who are working to get an internship on their high school transcript. Our program is a win on so many levels!
ACCOMMODATIONS:
The Academy is not part of the El Segundo Unified School District (ESUSD) and therefore cannot offer accommodations or special resources that your student receives from the district during the school year. If your student requires special accommodations, to avoid a cancellation fee, please get in touch with us at [email protected] to discuss before enrolling in a camp.
If you would like to provide an aide to support your student, please allow enough time for the aide to be cleared by ESUSD Human Resources, which requires the aide to be fingerprinted and background-checked.
The charge on your credit card will be from the El Segundo Education Foundation!
We sometimes take photos/videos for promotional purposes. To opt out, please email [email protected] with the participant's name, class they are taking and dates of the class.
Please contact The Academy if you have any questions.
