School of Magic Arts is seeking experts in the field of North American monster identification and cataloging. These special investigators will track and observe magical creatures from all corners of the United States, from the snowy mountains to the arid deserts. Apply now for summer positions!

In this summer camp from School of Magic Arts, campers will band together to catalog silly, scary, unique monsters and chase them across the map! They’ll need to use their newfound skills to catch these magical creatures, including vanishing, appearing, switching, and restoring.

They will also work on storytelling skills to bring their monsters to life, construct at least one prop a day to use in performance, and have the opportunity to be in an end-of-camp magic show!

This is a great camp for students just beginning magic and also those who have joined us for SOMA camps in the past.

JC Payne, a Maryland transplant, is delighted to be joining the School of Magic Arts team! He has loved the art of illusions his whole life long (BIG David Blaine & Shin Lim fan).
