Welcome to the official website of the Shire of Hartwood, the Nanaimo, Courtenay and Port Alberni BC branch of the SCA. For those of you who already know who we are and what we’re doing, hail and well met!
For those of you who stumbled upon this site in search of medieval information, instructions on how to make medieval garb, more info on those people who wear the funny clothes, check out our officer contacts and the calendar.
The summer camping event will be the Armada! This year it is at Camp Gilwell, Courtenay, BC, August 10-12th; more details to come!
Hartwood is happy in its populace, which shows strong interest in both fighting and Arts & Sciences (medieval garb, art, tool and instrument making). We are enthusiastic about the finer parts of medieval life and are happy to welcome interested persons of all ages to our group.
