August is the time of
Sorcerers Safari Magic Camp.
I continue to feel extraordinarily grateful that I had the opportunity to
experience Sorcerers Safari as an embedded reporter, a parent of a camper, an
impromptu cabin counsellor, and an arts and crafts instructor. It was
the highlight of my summer for five years!
The Canadian sleep away
magic camp, Sorcerers Safari, was the brainchild of Mike Segal and Mike
Toal. It was produced annually by Mike and Jen Segal. Located in
Haliburton, Ontario, it hosted a yearly gathering of magicians and magic
enthusiasts from across the world. In 2016, after 20 seasons, a bus full
of magic campers left Haliburton for the very last time.
This
time of year has magic camp staff and alumni reminiscing about our time at
Sorcerers Safari. It's the perfect time to share with you this
occasional series, “The Legacy of Sorcerers Safari.”
In lieu of a
physical reunion bringing together past campers and staff, Canada’s Magic is
hosting a virtual reunion of sorts. We’ve reached out to the Sorcerers
Safari community with a dozen or so questions to help bring us up to date on
what everyone has been up to since our magic camp days.
Almost
thirty of you have responded with your most cherished memories of camp as well as
your significant accomplishments since camp.
If you completed the
survey, keep your eyes peeled for your segment!
If you would
like to participate but haven’t filled out the survey, there’s still
time. The survey can be found here:

Mike, Jen, Sorcerers Safari staff, and alumni, this series is for you.
