The magic continues as they learn the origin of dragons and fairies. Campers will get creative together and learn how to make their own cryptid, design their own mask, and begin building a home for a fairy. They will get an additional CAMP MYTHOS Activity book that provides more information and activities that will keep campers exploring and creating even after the end of the camp! See you there!
