This July, our little corner of Vyškov transformed into a Hogwarts-like world full of spells, mysteries, and laughter. But instead of owls and cauldrons, we had imagination, teamwork, and a language that united us — English.
Our Harry Potter-themed day camp was more than just fun. It was a place where English came alive through movement, games, and magical challenges. No desks or vocab tests — just natural learning, woven into story-driven adventures.
Each day brought something new: we created spells (and practiced polite English), brewed potions, solved puzzles, hunted Horcruxes, and of course — played Quidditch! But it wasn’t all fantasy.
We also invited real-life heroes:
The Vyškov Fire Brigade gave us an exciting demonstration with their fire truck and equipment — and told us about their work.
Service dog trainers (cynology team) visited us and showed how well-trained dogs can help in rescue and service situations.
And a team of medical professionals delivered hands-on first aid training so every child could try CPR and basic emergency care in a fun, age-appropriate way.
What really made the week special, though, were the little things:
- Our lovely ‘camp grandma’ prepared fresh homemade snacks every morning — the kind that disappear in seconds and leave you asking for more.
- Delicious lunches from Campos Catering kept our energy high for all our magical missions.
A huge thank you to KK Vyškov for supporting our camp and providing the perfect space. And most importantly — to all the parents, for trusting us with your children. Your support means everything.
What makes this camp different?
We don’t just teach English. We create a world where kids feel free to explore, express themselves, and learn without pressure. Our approach is playful, story-based, and full of care — and we’re proud of how much our campers grow in just a few days.
We laughed, learned, cast spells, and made memories — and we’re already looking forward to next year.
Until then — thank you all, and see you soon!
