For Parents of Kids in our Programs

2020 Virtual Academy Schedule

Reminders:
  • When you sign in, you can use whatever character name you want, but include your house (PF, WH, WR, or SD) and your class name or Scary/Not-as-Scary.
  • Please try to have your supplies with you when you sign in each day.
  • Don't forget about the costume challenges!​​

The supply packages include:
For House Time: - 2 paper plates and a mask template - we will be making masks.
For PRISM - a blank CD, and a a piece of purple paper and a flashlight.
For SFX makeup - a tissue, 2 cotton balls, eyelash adhesive, a set of brushes, an eyeshadow palette, black eyeliner
For Potions - either NEWT Nectar (honey packet) and Blood Bark (Beetroot capsules) or Laughing Powder (cornstarch) and Green Goo-Maker (green powdered tempera paint), depending on your class.
For Magical Beings - A flower fairy body with pony beads, a skull head, hair, and a twisted wine body. OR plastic bag bodies with glow sticks for fairy lights. 

Cosmic Magical Flames Color Crystals -  We will NOT be using these together during camp, and students should absolutely NOT use them without adult supervision. These are intended to be put as an entire packet (without opening) into a campfire to make magical, colorful flames. I plan to show this as an example on Saturday night in my campfire, but I do not expect students to have campfires of their own. We included them (one per household) as a gift for families to enjoy at some point this winter. Do not use the Cosmic Color Crystals on the same fire you will use for S'mores or other cooking. They are for looking only.

Additional supplies you need to provide:
- coloring supplies like markers or colored pencils
- scissors 
- a stapler or tape
- a stick, skewer or pencil to put the mask on
- any other items you want to add to your mask
- liquid foundation makeup in or near your skin color
- a hair dryer (helps a lot with drying time for your sfx makeup)
- a cup of water
- a small bowl
- a spoon

We WILL have costume challenges every day, so students are encouraged to cosplay and come in character. We will have three costume challenges during the weekend. Unlike our summer academy, I'm going to give you the challenges in advance right now.
  • The costume challenge for Friday night is - Glow in the Dark - anything that glows in the dark or lights up
  • Saturday morning - Harvest Celebration - What reminds you of the autumn?
  • Saturday evening - Your best Halloween costume for the costume contest (nothing too scary or gory). We will be awarding individual small prizes which will be sent in the mail.
  • One final non-costume challenge - students are encouraged to decorate a pumpkin with their house logo and/or the Imaginorium key for bonus points! The can carve it, paint it, whatever. It also doesn't matter if it's a real pumpkin, foam pumpkin, or even a digital pumpkin! We will have our pumpkin contest on Saturday evening along with the costume contest.
