Come vie for the unique honour of being a martial Champion of Hartwood – heavy (hard suit), rapier, archery, and thrown weapons!

Join us in the woods and on the fields to compete in friendly battle with friends! Those who defeat all comers become Champions to represent Hartwood wherever they go, bearing the regalia, the honour, and the duty also to choose their successors in like manner.

Did you know…? The Prince of Tir Righ, Prionnsa Argyle MacMillan the Wise, will be in attendance! You will want to be there.

Yet… Hark! There be more!

In keeping with the anticipated weather, we are keeping things relatively low-key, outside of the competition for the martial Defenders of Hartwood. Instead of formal classes, we return to the traditions of villages and older cultures with LOS:TOS. [See below for details!]

Should the sun beat down and parch palates, make your way to the refreshment stand, and sample of the local bevers for a small donation. The range of summertime, thirst-quenching shrubs will both astound and thrill  you! (Note that Scout Camps are dry sites.)

PETS! The furry kind.Dogs (and cats) are permitted on site when they are on a leash attached to a human or a tether staked to the ground or around a tree. The scout camp does not accept natural deposits left by your family members, so please make sure their deposits are disposed of in an acceptable receptacle. (An Tir leash laws in effect.)
