Full description

Come and discover the enchanting Elf Hat Academy - a magical academy unlike any other.

At Elf Hat Academy, we invite you to discover the wisdom of the elves and become a trusted helper for Santa himself. Absorbing all the knowledge of the elves may seem overwhelming, so our charming academy offers a secret visit where elves will divulge their tips and tricks to help you become Santa's trusted assistant.

During your stay, you'll have the opportunity to sneak a peek in to the world of the elves, learning to speak their language, dance their dances, and decorate like a true elf. Upon graduation, you'll receive a special elf mark as a symbol of your newly acquired wisdom, along with an Elf Academy diploma to serve as a reminder of all the secrets you've learned.

The Elf Hat Academy eagerly awaits your arrival!
