FAQs & Additional Information

Age restriction: We strongly emphasize that this event is for teens who are from the ages of 12 - 19. We are strongly emphasizing this age restriction because it is our goal to provide teens with in-depth and age-appropriate information that may not be for little ones. If your little witch does not fall into this age group, have no worry! We have dedicated the month of July to our little witches and we will be holding the following events that are all ages.

Materials & Supplies: All learning and art materials will be provided and are included in the price. Campers are welcome to bring their own journal and items that bring them comfort.

About the space: The Ceremonial Treehouse is located across the street from the Ceremonial shop on Reynolds St. in the Point Breeze Neighborhood of Pittsburgh. There is a gate and a flight of stairs leading to the Treehouse space. We will be sitting on the floor and have chairs and pillows available for use. There may be times when we travel down the flight of stairs and across the street to the shop and times where we may take a short nature walk around the block.

Participation Agreement: Upon purchase, you will receive an email with a Teen Witch Camp Participation Agreement. We ask that this be printed out and signed for the first day of camp. We cannot admit any camper into the event without this paper and consent. We will send an email to remind all guardians a week before as well.
