Nope, not at all. Wattlebrush is a great introduction to the wizarding world. We take inspiration from Hogwarts classes but the main focus of our camps is the magic around us every day.

We keep our numbers small, and friendship is one of our core values at Wattlebrush, so we aim to build a connection in a 3-day or week-long camp. We release a small number of single tickets closer to camp opening for families looking to join in for the day.

Our activities are based on the first three Harry Potter books, so we encourage around the same age range as Hogwarts first years: between 8 and 12 years old. If your kids are outside the age range but love Harry Potter please do get in touch. We can chat about whether our program might still be a magical fit for them! We’ve had many younger adventurers join us who taught older campers a thing or two about wizarding lore.

It's $350 for 3 day camps. Each day is packed with 7 hours of immersive fun and learning! All materials are provided including personalised foraging bag, spell book and potions. Single day ticket prices are seasonal so make sure you check out our ticketing page for upcoming camps.

At Wattlebrush, we believe in deep discovery and real conversations. Our maximum group size is 15 enchanters, but depending on individual needs, we may cap it at 10. We want everyone to have the best experience possible!

We don't offer care after hours, but there's always someone onsite from 8am to 4pm. Our club hours are 8:30am to 3:30pm, with activities kicking off officially at 9am and winding down at 3pm.

Just bring your unconditional goodwill for those around you, food for the day (fridges are provided), a spirit of curiosity, sun protection, and hydration. We'll send a full guide with camp details before we kick off the magic! All materials for potions and spell crafting are provided.

We'll send a starter form to gather your child's comfort and safety requirements and make sure we can tailor an awesome experience. For accessibility, students need to be able to climb the cub den stairs with or without assistance. Many activities take place outdoors, so sun protection and weather-appropriate clothing are essential each day. We ensure all certifications, such as insurance, blue cards, and first aid, are current. Please keep in mind we spend a lot of time in nature and environmental kerfuffles like scratches and stings can occur. Luckily we are based at a Scout Hall and are always prepared.
