Mid-Winter Fire Camp

 *** Bookings have closed ***

Mid-winter fire-themed camp at Braythwayte Manor (Rotorua) 22nd to 24th June. This is the perfect excuse to wrap up in your woollen garb and gather around a great bonfire. Tuck into cooked breakfasts, enjoy hot fresh bread straight from the bread oven, feast on camp-fire cooking. Stay warm fighting in the heavy or rapier tourneys, at dusk shoot fire arrows at flammable targets. Fire up the forge and bash some red hot steel. Chase the winter away dancing and singing to celebrate the passing of the shortest day.

Event fees: 

Adults: $30 per day (or part thereof)

Child (5-15 yrs): $15 per day.

Under 5s free

 Location:

Braythwayte Manor is a private property on the northern shoreline of Lake Rotorua. Detailed directions are available via the booking form.

Accommodation:

This is a camping event. However, there will be some crash space in the house which will be initially allocated to those genuinely unable to camp and then open to others who want to come but have an aversion to sleeping outside.

 Activities:

Heavy and rapier tourneys (depending on participants)

Archery: The plan is to make up combustble targets we can shoot fire arrows at around dusk on the Saturday

Serious camp fire (seperate from cooking fires).

A&S: Bring instruments, projects you are currently working on etc

Workshop: The (recently up-graded) workshop will be available for projects but please let Ed know your plans in advance. You can do this on the booking form.

Games: Hopefully some active games like stoolball to help keep us warm.
