Medieval-Themed Camp
Sessions for All Ages

Overview

All of our hands-on activities take place in our 23-acre medieval village. Campers will be transported back in time to a world of knights, ladies, and a simpler way of life. Campers will work with their hands to create useful tools and learn skills that were essential to daily living in the medieval era. No modern entertainment devices will be available.

Every member of our team undergoes a strict screening and application process, background check, and is required to participate in Child Safety Awareness Training. Our nurse is on site 24/7, we have first aid and CPR trained staff, and our pool is closely monitored by a certified lifeguard. Meals are prepared by food industry professionals and we are fully state certified.

Accommodations

Campers have the option of sleeping in Sherwood Castle or one of the Merry Folks’ Pavilions.

Sherwood Castle is an indoor, climate-controlled environment with bunk beds. A temporary wall separates the lords from the ladies in residence.

The Merry Men’s Pavilion and Merry Women’s Pavilion are large, military-grade tents that stand over a raised wooden platform. They are insulated and climate controlled. Campers choosing this accommodation option will usually have more personal space to spread out in than those sleeping in the castle. The pavilions are less populated and less noisy.

Accommodations options are first-come, first-served.

Schedule

We will have 3 sessions of 6 nights each. Campers are dropped off on Sunday and picked up on Saturday. If campers are attending multiple sessions consecutively, they can stay with us on that “bridge” Saturday night and enjoy extra-special activities at no extra charge! (We’ll do their laundry for no additional charge too.)

A typical camper day includes attending 5 - 6 classes, 3 healthy meals, a snack, and an evening activity or entertainment of some kind after dinner. Campers end their day with a shower and bedtime story.

Bridge Campers

From departure time Saturday until Sunday arrival time the next day, “bridge campers” who are with us multiple weeks will get to have special instruction and enjoy some unstructured time, always under adult supervision of course, before the new week begins.
