MAGIC EXPLORERS CAMP is specifically designed for kids 5-7 years old in AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS right here in Alabama.

It’s designed to help build SELF CONFIDENCE, CHARACTER, and face-to-face COMMUNICATION SKILLS by teaching kids the art of magic!

And it’s – ALSO – really really fun!



The SEL (social emotional learning) is built right into our program!

MAGIC EXPLORERS CAMP is terrific at building character, confidence and communication skills in kids (5-7 years old) through magic tricks, games, music, coloring, and fun

Magic Explorers helps kids make friends, feel special, and learn cool things about themselves and the world around them.

Our Magic Activity Packs, or MAPs, are a mixture of magic meets arts and crafts with a splash of social emotional learning!

The magic makes the fun happen and the fun makes learning easy!



The world needs kids with self confidence, strong character, and the ability to communicate well.  

Magic Explorers is – NEW NEW NEW – and it’s  JUST amazing! 

Your kids will learn…


 

It’s a 2 FULL DAY or 3 HALF-DAY – MAGIC EXPLORERS CAMP – magic learning program specifically created – by educators for educators – for kids 5-7 years old

It’s available for ALL summer programs in Alabama.

Each child receives – a colorful notebook with 6 perforated and scored MAPS – Magic Activity Packets

Kids punch these out, color them, and build their own magic tricks to perform… then they PERFORM THEM!!!

Plus we also bring… Bonus Mazes, Jokes, Hidden Pictures Stories, Music, and even more Educational content!  


Learning magic tricks gives kids a strong sense of self-confidence.

Learning magic tricks also connects kids to others (there’s no such thing as a magic trick you can do alone YOU MUST COMMUNICATE and CONNECT).

Learning magic is also a TON of FUN.

As you may know, as Rockin’ Eco Hero – Steve Trash – I’ve been a globetrotting magician (Japan, Australia, Spain, Portugal, UAE)  for almost 40 years.  I’ve been all over the world, I have won awards, I even have my own PBS TV show.

I love magic!

​I also believe that magic can be one of  “the keys” to bringing our kids back to happiness, fulfillment, and joy.

And man… KIDS REALLY need all that right now!

We do all this through MAGIC EXPLORERS CAMP.

MAGIC EXPLORER CAMP Here’s what we CAN do!

MAGIC EXPLORER CAMP is (2 FULL DAY or 3 HALF) CONSECUTIVE DAYS AT YOUR SCHOOL

Here’s how it works…

Our CERTIFIED MAGIC INSTRUCTORS (personally trained by me Steve Trash)  come to your school.  We bring 2-4 instructors per (30-60 kid) groups to teach the magic, run the games, show the videos, orchestrate the fun and silliness with your kids!   

Our instructors teach your kids how to read people’s minds, make money appear out of nowhere, travel through time magically, and more (games, surprises, magic performances, prizes, laughter – lots of laughter).  

In this course students will not only learn the 8 basic effects that make up all magic tricks, but more importantly they will discover the “real secrets” to becoming a true magician as lessons reveal important life skills to help build their confidence, communication skills, and character. Each day’s magic lesson is a flexible 1 – 3 hours long.

HOW LONG IS EACH MAGIC EXPLORERS CAMP HALF-DAY?

Each day of Magic Camp is 3 hours long (a ton of magic, fun, games is jammed into this 3 hours).

HOW CAN – SEL – BE “BUILT-IN” TO LEARNING MAGIC TRICKS?

This is the most exciting part of MAGIC CAMP.

MASTERY KNOWLEDGE COMMUNICATION EMPATHY FUN

All of this is literally baked-in to learning and performing magic.

First, the kids begin to develop self-confidence through mastery of the magic tricks we provide. Our instructors know how to give support, guidance, and steer the kids to learning and performing the tricks well.

Our magic tricks are also specifically designed for kids (5-7 years old).

This is powerful stuff. They learn and can perform this magic quickly. Did you get that? They learn these magic tricks quickly. That’s a real boost to self confidence right there, but it even goes further!

They can NOW perform these tricks for family, and friends. They will get amazingly positive feedback from grandma, mom, dad, their best friend. Everyone needs approval and positive feedback. Our magic does this!

Knowing the “secret” is also a brilliant incentive to get kids excited to know more. These kids now know how to do something that OTHERS don’t know how to do (even grown-ups). Imagine the self-confidence that this delivers.

I can tell you – first hand – it can mean the world to a kid!

Second, learning and performing magic tricks can also drive dramatic communication skills improvement. There’s literally no way to do a magic trick alone. Magic MUST BE SHARED with someone else. Imagine asking someone to “pick a card” but there’s no one there to ask. See… it’s built in.

You must perform magic for & with others.

Magic is shockingly good at driving kids to be better communicators, to be more empathetic. To perform a magic trick well requires that you read other peoples emotions as you communicate with them.

Anytime you ask someone to “pick a card”, you are communicating directly with them. Even for something this simple you must communicate effectively, you must communicate well. You must speak up. You must look the person in the eyes. You must make sure they are paying attention. All this HAS TO HAPPEN to perform magic.

You have to read their facial signals, their body-language, their eyes, their expressions to make the most of the magic trick.

Magic tricks force you to communicate, but the great thing is… it’s a TON OF FUN to be doing magic!

Within the structure of MAGIC EXPLORERS CAMP, there are so lots of elements that are ALSO designed specifically for emotional kid growth and development.

We have interactive (creativity) WONDER-DOODLE sessions (kids guess what a funny picture is – there are no wrong answers), or kids introduce themselves to the group (self-confidence building) and then they take a bow as everyone claps for them, VIP VIDEOS (character) learning sessions (examples of good character), GAMES that promote teamwork, (these games are lots of fun too), speed practice (communication skills) sessions where the kids are working one-on-one with OTHER kids. 

Our curriculum is designed to be fast, fun, and filled with ways to help your kids discover connections to each other AND to the magic tricks they are learning. 

Our AAM – Discover Magic curriculum leverages the power and excitement of learning magic secrets to get kids to put down their electronic devices and learn important social skills like using people’s names and looking others in the eyes. 

Embedded in these fun and interactive classes are simple and powerful life-changing lessons. 

We teach the importance of being prepared, being humble, and being your best self all in the context of what makes a good magician.

MAGIC EXPLORERS CAMP was designed by educators to make sure the kids are learning, growing, AND having fun – all at the same time!

MAGIC CAMP is flexible. We offer two “full day” MAGIC EXPLORER CAMPS. We also offer three “half-day” MAGIC EXPLORER CAMPS. Each day is 1-3 hours long.

MAGIC EXPLORERS CAMPS are available for up to 30 (5-7 year old kids) and up to 60 (5-7 year old kids).

WHAT TYPE OF SPACE OR FACILITY DO WE NEED TO PROVIDE TO MAKE MAGIC EXPLORERS CAMP HAPPEN?

The kids will need room to spread out AND we need tables for the kids to create on. In some cases, they will be at table or even on the floor is fine. But we do need space to move around. We’ll learn magic and then we’ll be playing some physical movement games, so the kids can blow off some steam. A cafeteria, gymnasium, or really large room will work just great!

WHAT AGES CAN PARTICIPATE IN MAGIC EXPLORERS CAMP?

5- 7 year old kids.

HOW MUCH LEAD-TIME TO WE NEED TO BOOK MAGIC CAMP?

We MUST HAVE two months notice to get MAGIC EXPLORERS CAMP on “the books” for you. Partially this is because we must order lots and lots of magic tricks for you and we never want to risk those magical items NOT coming in and being ready for the kids to take home.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

Our goal is to make a REAL impact on this generation of kids, so I’ve made the choice to only use THE BEST materials.

I’ve spent my whole career (almost 40 years now) combating the forces that would deliver mediocre or low quality. We simply won’t play that game.

We are here to deliver quality for your kids.

SAME DAY DISCOUNT PRICING

Magic Camp (8-12 years old) and Explorers (5-7 years old) are very different programs.  They were designed with curriculum specifically targeted to 5-7 year olds and curriculum specifically targeted to  8-12 year olds.  We CAN, however, present a morning session for your 5-7 year olds (3 hours) and then an afternoon session for your 8-12 year olds (3 hours).  This would be MAGIC EXPLORERS in the morning and then MAGIC CAMP in the afternoon.  Does this sound interesting?  Ask about our discounted pricing for presenting MAGIC EXPLORERS and MAGIC CAMP on the same days. 

OUR MISSION:  Help kids develop self-confidence, better communication skills, and good character through fun magic lessons.
