It's like Hogwarts Down Under!
At Wattlebrush, we concoct natural perfumes, build dragon dens and fly broomsticks through obstacle courses. Guided by the adventures of Hogwarts, our immersive activities for grades 5-7 are designed to cultivate wonder, self-discovery, and a deep connection to nature. We aim to empower young enchanters to become confident, compassionate, and curious individuals who embrace the magic of life. Our next week-long Wizardry and Bushcraft camps run in the September School Holidays. Send us an owl to add your Wiz-Kid to the sorting hat.
