Sherwood Forest Summer Camp

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.

Sherwood Forest Summer Camp offers adults age 21+ the opportunity to learn skills and crafts of the renaissance era. Each camper will receive 3 hours of instruction in 5 different courses during their camp adventure. The event spans 3 days, and in addition to the course instruction, campers will enjoy 3 high-quality meals, some time for relaxation or cooling off in the pool each day, and of course revelry at Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem at night!

Our courses vary year to year, and the final curriculum is usually available around the end of May. You can meet our Masters and learn about what they are teaching on our YouTube Channel! Campers will have predetermined Paths from which to choose. Campers who have selected the same pathway will be assigned to a "clan, " a group of 9 other campers within their age group with whom they will spend the entire week.

Our camp grows every year and requires a large staff to keep campers safe and ensure they are enjoying themselves. I've been called Teach since before I went to my first renaissance festival over a decade ago. It defines a lot of who I am. First, I am a teacher with 16 years of classroom experience teaching all levels of science.
