Camp Fenby; Friday through Sunday, June 26 to 28, 2009
Posted: Mon Jun 01, 2009 2:32 pm
If you’re in the Mid-Atlantic area at the end of June:
Camp Fenby is our somewhat laid-back medieval arts and crafts camp held at Oakley Forge in St. Mary’s County, Maryland. Civilian clothes are perfectly acceptable (so you don’t have to dress funny unless you’re really into it
, and there’s usually a lot of stuff to learn, teach or do.
We should have a variety of beginning, formal and informal blacksmithing sessions. This year, due to the construction of the new forge building and fitting out the ship and ancillary vessels, we will also be working on some woodworking and follow-up construction projects for the forge and the vessels; and, of course, having a pleasant weekend.
Camp Fenby has a Yahoo Groups webpage at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CampFenby/ We usually post the latest and best information there, as well as directions to Oakley. There is a nominal site fee to cover the cost of the porta-potty, with all surplus funds going to support the Longship Company. Camping on the farm is available, and there are a number of motels in the area.
Saturday night usually includes a crab and shrimp feast.
If you need further information or can’t pull up the Yahoo groups site, please contact me by P.M. or at asylumATearthlinkDOTnet,
