AUBURN (NEWS CENTER) -- The "Harry Potter" frenzy is actually helping camp counsellors here in Maine keep kids active both physically and mentally.

It's called magic for muggles summer camp. This classroom at Central Maine Community College in Auburn has been transformed into Hogwarts castle, the place Harry Potter and his friends spend their school year.

The students enrolled take part in crafts, scientific experiements (also known as magic) even quizzes about the novels.

Twice a day they play a game called muggles quidditch, involving plenty of exercise.

Throughout each activity the kids earn points for their house depending on their performance and behavior. At the end of the week, whichever group has collected the most will win a grand prize.
