Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Encampment of 1100 to 1600s
We bring group of 45 to 50 dedicated volunteers who have spent many hours researching the old ways. Historical re-enactment of 1100-1600, and the golden age of piracy are areas of focus.
Our main focus is living history, "live steel" fighting re-enactments. As well as the "peaceful arts" including cooking, wood-crafting, sewing, painting, drawing.
School Outreach
We regularly go to local schools in costume to teach about the Renaissance period and the people who lived then. This provides the children a chance to see, hear and touch a re-enactment of history.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our goals:
To foster an interest in history and life long learning.
To increase participation in public service.
To show that all people, regardless of creed, color,religion or sexual orientation can come together and make a difference.
To boost and build the self confidence of those who choose to become members.
To show that Chivalry, Honor, Justice, Service and Respect are in face still alive and present today.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
We set up period encampment and preform interesting shows and interactive displays. We promote history in a fun and interesting way.
We promote and support local events and organization through preforming.
We assist people in improving their lives by teaching and enforcing personal responsibility.
We live our lives as example to all, so that we can be seen as one person making a difference in the the hope that others will follow suit.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Our members are well educated, trained and driven to excel in the promotion and demonstration of historical practices and events. We currently have a large display and are always looking to expand it.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We are currently preforming at small and mid-sized events locally. We want to be preforming at large venues nationally and possibly internationally as well. We remain committed to the small and mid-sized event, but we desire to serve and educate more people by being able to preform at these larger events.
