--- FRIDAY AT WIZARDING WEEKEND ---
New and returning students arrive at school Friday, and first participate in Worthwich's signature real wood wand making class. You will learn how to use your wand in several classes throughout the weekend. After that, your wand is yours to keep.

1st-year students are sorted into one of Worthwich's four Houses - Sakurai, Wyverno, Qlantis, and Zarraqa. After the sorting ceremony students enjoy an opening night feast, prepared by professional chefs.

To close out the Friday festivities Worthwich will hosts an opening night social, where students can mix and mingle with their heads of house, fellow students, and professors while enjoying adult brews, trolley treats, wizarding music, and games.

At breakfast, Saturday & Sunday morning students and professors read the daily school newspaper while enjoying a full hot breakfast including our chef's signature baked french toast, eggs, home fries, breakfast meats, fresh fruit, or a tasty veggie scramble complete with coffee, tea, and juice.

Classes taught at Wizarding Weekend are designed to be engaging, immersive and completely AUTHENTIC. We aim to make each student truly feel as though they are enrolled at a school of wizardry, because, frankly, you are.

We work year round to generate original and unique content for our students and bring it all together for 3 days and nights at Worthwich Wizarding Weekend. It truly is the most magical weekend of the year!

--- ATTENDING AS A SOLO FLYER ---
Don't be afraid to attend wizarding weekend on your own. One of the things our students enjoy most about wizarding weekend is the new friendships they form here.

You do everything together with your house and they truly become like your family. You will attend classes with your fellow housemates, sit at your house table for meals, and get to know them better in the evenings around the campfire.

Each of the four Worthwich houses has its own Facebook community (created by the students themselves) so they can stay in touch while not at school.

These bonds last. There is a true sense of community and belonging here. House pride is strong and the choosing chalice on point.

--- SCHOOL GROUNDS AT PARRIE HAYNES RANCH ---
Worthwich Wizarding Weekend is hosted at Parrie Haynes Ranch in Killeen, TX.

Worthwich is rents out the entire facility so our wizarding students and professors will be the only group on site for the whole weekend. We have also placed concealment and security charms around the property, just in case.

Parrie Haynes Ranch is located centrally in Texas

The location is remote with low light pollution and amazing nighttime views of the Texas skyline. Let go of your tech for a weekend (there's no cell signal, anyway) and get back to basics with us.

Roam around the school grounds by oil lamp light, write with quill and ink, and discover the magic of native Texas plants.
