Youth Witch Camp - Olympia, WA

Registration coming soon!!! Jun 25-29: This is a 5 day camp for youth (ages 7-12) coming into their own magic and power. We'll interpret our dreams, learn about intuition and consent, explore right relations & learn local Indigenous history, make pendulums, plant medicine and explore forms of divination. Throughout the week, we will explore all things witches, learn about listening to plants, making potions, using all our special senses, making power necklaces, finding magic in our bodies, exploring the wilderness, and creating rituals, while meeting others interested in the same! Luminous and intuitive folks from the community will join us to teach a special skill or craft that will help you feel inspired on your creative, guided, confident and magical path!
