Unleash your magic with the art of Tarot!
Calling future mystics and truth-seekers!
Are you ready to dive deep into the ancient art of Tarot?
Teen Witch Tarot Camp is specially designed for ages 14-17 (rising 9th-12th graders) who are curious, creative, and ready to explore their intuition and magical prowess!
Join us Monday through Friday, August 4-8, from 10:30am to 4pm (we wrap up early on Friday at 3pm) for a week of discovery and connection. Step into our magical sanctum (a cozy, private home in South Austin) and get to know your new mystical bestie — Tarot! (She’s never boring and always eerily ON POINT!)
Who's This Camp For? YOU!
✨ Do adults refer to you as an “old soul,” wise beyond your years?
✨ Do you drop profound wisdom at the dinner table, stupefying the adults around you?
✨ Do you often pick up on the emotions and unsaid thoughts floating in the room (aka, your vibe-radar is super strong)?
✨ Do you feel the world deeply and easily connect with the animals around you?
✨ Have you always been fascinated by things like ghosts, fairies, magicians, and witches?
✨ Are you highly creative and curious about understanding yourself and the world in new and fascinating ways?
Then TEEN WITCH TAROT CAMP was made for you! And this is your chance to…
Tap into your inner mystic: Explore the quirky passions that have always captivated you.
Boost your intuition: Learn to trust your gut, sharpen your senses, and read the room.
Own your unique gifts: Discover how powerful and magical your sensitivities truly are!
Develop a skill few people know how to use: Learn the art of divination — cast questions out into the Universe and interpret the messages you get in response.
Tarot isn't just about “fortune-telling” — it's an ancient tool for self-discovery, validating our instincts, and navigating the wild, wonderful, confusing emotions that come with being alive. Think of Tarot as a cool creative practice that uses images and symbols to confirm what we already feel, while also supporting us as we step into the unknown!
What’s on the Agenda? Plenty of Magic!
Get ready for a deep dive! Throughout the week, you'll master:
Tarot 101: From its ancient history to how we can use the cards today.
Archetype Adventures: Discover the powerful personalities hidden in each card.
Reading Skills: Practice giving insightful readings to yourself and others!
Tarot Ethics: Learn how to use your new skills wisely and responsibly.
Intuitive Superpowers: Discover how to protect and harness your unique intuitive abilities.
Creative Sparks: Explore how Tarot can help you with art projects and problem-solving.
A Crew of Witches: Connect with other amazing teens who get you — and your magic!
Each day builds on the last, moving from the basics to more advanced Tarot secrets. We'll also mix in chill activities like meditation, visualization, grounding exercises, journaling, and self-reflection to help you connect with your inner wisdom. We’ll learn by doing and practicing — no boring lectures!
Grand Finale! On our last day, you'll get to show off your new skills! Think fun, short presentations about a Tarot card that truly speaks to you, and give a few mini-readings to family and friends.

Meet Your Guide
Hi, there! I’m Cecily, and I’ve been reading Tarot for 8 years — and running a whole business around it.
When I was a kid, my mom sent me to many summer camps. Some were great. Many were awkward. None felt fully right for me, given my unique brand of weirdness (I didn’t know back then I was a little witch-in-the-making!).
A few decades later, I was teaching for and running creative writing camps for kids, some of them a lot like me. (That was a camp I would have begged to go to!) Those creative writing camps are still running across Austin today!
As for Tarot, I had a deck in my closet for 15 years, but I never used it because I assumed you had to be psychic or raised by witches. (I was neither). One day, kinda randomly, I tried it — and everything changed!
Now, it’s my mission to prevent other people from wasting years of their lives NOT using Tarot (if they’re curious about it). Because a simple (yet mysterious!) deck of cards can bring lots of magic into our lives, if we let it.
Tarot has helped me rely on my intuition, navigate difficult times, and grow in ways I never thought possible. It’s made life more fun, creative, and interesting — in so many ways. I’ve also discovered that having witchy friends is one key to happiness, so I try to stay connected and build community with fellow creatives and mystics.
I moved to Austin when I was just a few years older than you, and I’ve been here (mostly!) ever since. When I’m not supporting my creative clients, teaching workshops, writing, podcasting, or reading cards, I’m usually reading books, listening to a paranormal podcast, hanging out with my two dogs Lyla and Queenie, working on a crossword puzzle, or volunteering at Austin Wildlife Rescue — cleaning possum cages and feeding baby squirrels! 🐿️ … I hope I get to meet you and hear all about your story!
Other Things You Might Be Curious About…
🔮 Registration is $350 for the week.
🔮 We’re keeping the group small and personal (5-10 campers), which means plenty of individual attention and support, plus a close-knit community.
🔮 Campers need their own Tarot deck (teen-friendly recs available upon request!), as well as a journal and pen, lunch daily, and your water bottle. Snacks will be provided!
🔮 It’s cool if you’re never picked up a Tarot deck before. Maybe you’ve just seen Tarot in movies, or read about it in books. This will be a fun, supported, memorable way to start your journey!
🔮 Already know your way around the Tarot? Fantastic! While we'll cover some basics you might know (a good review always helps!), you'll pick up fresh "aha!" moments at every turn. And trust me, we're diving deep into new spreads and concepts that will have you saying, “Whoa, mind blown!" by Friday.
🔮 This is an inclusive space. Campers’ individuality and uniqueness is welcome.
🔮 We use Tarot for guidance, inspiration, and insight — not necessarily for fortune-telling. That said, sometimes the cards do help us peer into the future! (Another reason we love them!)
