Camp Description...

 

This summer campers will take a step back in time. Together we will be recreating the days when knights rescued damsels in distress because dragons roamed the earth. Medieval roles are so diverse that everyone should find one that peaks their interest. We’ll prepare medieval food, entertainment, practice sports, music and knightly games as well as learn games for fun and about every day life.

 

The coronation of a king and queen will culminate in a Coronation Feast at no additional cost.  Parents are encouraged to attend. 

Everyone’s experience each week will build upon the previous week, giving all the chance to expand upon their interests. Those who like building will construct a town. Others may participate in mini tournaments to establish knightly ranking. Musicians and jugglers and acrobats will practice entertainment for the King and Queen. And then for a full week a town will emerge and there will be a Faire and Grand Tournament so that everyone will have the opportunity to demonstrate their new skills.

Throughout the summer campers will go on many ‘Adventures’. These will include swimming at the Rocky River Recreation outdoor pool, bowling, and a field trip to the Cleveland Art Museum. More outings are being researched and will be advertised when they are finalized. There will be Quests as well, but they are shrouded in secrecy and may not yet be revealed!

Parents will be invited several times throughout the summer. Some things are still in the planning stages. So far, a Craft Day is scheduled. Craftsmen and women will come to West Shore to demonstrate their medieval specialties and offer to let everyone try their hand at them. And there will be the traditional Crowning of the Royals and a feast to celebrate.

Of course there are costumes to design and make, and preparations are as much if not more fun than the actual events! So won’t you join us? We look forward to reenacting Medieval times with you!
