    If you have ever crossed your fingers, knocked on wood, or avoided stepping on a sidewalk crack, this camp session is for you! Discover the origins of these customs and why we still practice them today. Learn what methods people from around the world use to ward off harm and bring good fortune. Create your own superstition and then make a protective amulet. On Friday the 13th, participate in a special celebration for family and friends featuring activities to bring good luck to all.
