Newcomers' Encampment

People new to War are welcomed to land allocate in our Newcomers' Encampment. This encampment is made specifically for people who are new to the SCA or have not quite found a household or geo-political area to camp in. This is a family friendly campsite and all ages are welcomed. The Newcomers' Encampment is conveniently located close to Base Camp. So if you have any questions, would like to contact the Chatelaine, or are interested in Volunteering, feel free to visit Base Camp and ask! Please note that there is no meal plan set for Newcomers' Encampment so you will have to provide your own food for the weekend. All camp and War rules apply to Newcomers' Encampment. please email the Chatelaine at chatelaine@calafia.org if you need more information.

Loaner Garb

Loaner Garb will be made available to any of the populace that is in need of correct attire for War. Base Camp will have Baronial garb ready and available to those who wish to dress the fashion during the day or who need to be in garb after sunset. Limited items are available and garb will be "rented' on a first come first served basis. It is REQUIRED that you are in garb on site after sunset.

PLEASE NOTE: A $1 rental fee will charged for each piece of garb borrowed. A deposit of $10 (cash or check) is required to rent garb. The deposit will be returned to you when the garb is returned to base camp. In the event that the loaner garb is not returned by the end of war, the deposit will be used as a replacement fee for the missing garment. The $1 fee will be kept to help with expenses in cleaning and repairing the garb that is rented out.
