Camp Fenby is our laid-back medieval arts and crafts weekend, with sessions in June (okay; the school year ran late and schedules got crowded) or early July and November.
Here are some of the activities that we're looking at on Friday through Sunday, July 9th through 11th, at Oakley Forge in St. Mary's County, Maryland. (And folks can camp out Thursday night, too!) Camp Fenby is an official Longship Company, Ltd. and Markland event.

Butttt Butt But---Draft Camp Fenby with no draft would only be just like a really great time of folks doing, learning, teaching and making things! The *horror*!
Thomas still stuck at 9000' in Chile but I can gnaw through the restraints tomorrow as all of my test time has been pre-empted. There are folks here who have never even heard of the vikings---though I'd admit that the portage would be a bit rough---lots of up hill; little water.
