Enchantment Camps Wizards-in-Training
Wizards in Training selects a few young people who are eager to take on more responsibility at Treewild. Becoming a wizarding leader involves learning a great deal of meticulous details, while training to be proactive, independently responsible, and cheerfully engaged.
For the summer of 2026, we will accept two WITs for each of the following camps:
Color Wizards July 13-17
Greece Musical July 20-Aug 1
Divinations (July 6-10) is a week for older magicians,
and WITs are invited to attend as campers!
The Details:
WITs must be at least 12 years of age.
While they are helping with camp, they will also be able to participate in the activities.
WITs are expected to arrive at 8am and leave at 5pm.
WITs are responsible for before and after care, and will be paid for the children who come early or stay late.
A WIT is welcome to train one week and attend camp a different week.
There will be no WITs for World Building
We will schedule our WITs for one or two camps, depending on availability and interest
There is a $200 fee to be a WIT, which includes attendance to week of camp, with all materials and activities provided.
The Future
After three summers of training, a WIT will be eligible to be hired for a summer job.
Enchantment Camps pays competitive rates for both high school and college aged students,
but we have only a few positions available each summer.
The skills learned at being a WIT will be valuable at any job, as well as living at home.
Enchantment Camps is happy to provide references.
The Dog or Cat Question
we love cats. we hire dogs.
What a Wizard-in-Training will learn
how to work like a dog…
Anticipatory action
Seeing something that needs to be done and doing it, correctly, and without being told
Asking questions so that they have the information and the skills to get the job done
Come up with creative solutions to spontaneous problems
Doing what they are asked to do when they are asked to do it
Working with focus and efficiency
Doing the “dirty work” with good cheer
Doing the “boring stuff” with good cheer
They will also learn
how to initiate an idea
how the little details create the big picture
how to smoothly process emotions so they don’t get in the way
how to communicate clearly
Amplifying and appreciating all the magic and wonder
that happen around here
when all the systems are in place
and working beautifully because
they are part of the system!
