Good King Henry to celebrate a memorable 2018 Colorado Renaissance Festival.

For our 42nd Anniversary season, we take you on a magical tour through time and legend. As you wander down the village streets and pathways of the Colorado Renaissance Festival, ready thyself to revel with master revelers, watch artisans create original works of their ancient craft and be taken in by the tantalizing aromas of roast turkey legges, steak on a stake, fresh baked goods and much more. Featuring a cast of hundreds of authentically costumed merrymakers living and working throughout the village and performing, continuously, upon the Festival's seven stages, the illusion of a rollicking 16th Century festival day is created.

* Narrative Role Playing
* Acting Games
* Education based and fun!
* Medieval fantasy
* Special needs kids more than welcome and encouraged
• For ages 9 through 20.

Is your son and daughter looking for an unforgettable adventure this summer?

Then join us the last week of June for an unparalleled summer camp experience!

Dana Susan Beasley, homeschool mother and curriculum author, along with her nephew, Jacob Turner (who goes by his acting name Nathen Creed) and his lovely wife Jaden (AKA Victoria), will lead this extraordinary camp that will bring excitement and friendship to students in the Colorado Springs area.

Nathen will be facilitating the LARPing experience through our own fantasy world that our team creates. Along with that, students will have the opportunity to build boffer weapons, engage in group storytelling, play acting games, develop their characters, and have fun on the field at the park doing ditch battling and medieval sword fighting drills.

Mission/Vision/Purpose: To provide Christ-centered and character based Live Action Role Playing, battle skirmish physical education, arts and crafts experiences, and drama lessons and practice.

Every child and child at heart is welcome from the age of 9-20.

Other Objectives: Build friendships • Create community • Help each other overcome challenges • Appropriate for Autistic/special needs students/learning-challenged students • Sword and weapon making • Wearing medieval costumes and accessories • Creative writing • Acting Games • Encourage one another to follow God's best for our lives • Be beacons of light in a dark world.

• On Friday we will end with a Knighting Ceremony and then BBQ dinner so our camp will end at 6:30 pm. Families are welcome and encouraged to attend.

• We will send campers forms to create their own characters at least 2 weeks in advance. Using these forms, campers must write out a summary of their character and email it to us at least a week before camp starts. We are considering having a preliminary meeting so that we can hit the ground running when we begin camp.

•Costumes encouraged.

•Coins (plastic, sorry, not real ones), will be given to participants based on attendance, attitude, if they wear a costume, etc. They can use these coins to buy enchantments for their weapons and the last day of camp we will have a camp store they can purchase various toys and fun things.

•Early bird price is $117 per camper. This includes making a boffer sword that we specifically designed for our LARPing club.

•Early enrollment ends June 1. $117 is due to take your spot. Only 39 spots are left.

• A waiver form must be signed by parent or guardian before attending events. A student must also sign a conduct agreement.
