About This Activity
Join us to learn the knightly virtues of chivalry, service, and strength as we practice our swordsmanship, learn about medieval weapons and armor, and prepare for the King’s great tournament of champions! During each week of camp we will learn how to use the knight’s particular tools of combat, from sword and shield to lance and bow. We will also dive into the world of medieval fortresses, learning about the various parts of these stone strongholds as well as the machines created to attack them. Special activities will include questing, dragon-slaying, block castle building, and more! Guided by daily readings of some of the greatest of knight’s tales, each of our young pages and squires will train in service to his lord and lady (namely, Dad and Mom) and earn advancement points toward his knighthood through acts of service, chivalry, courage, and skill. Each knight will return to his home castle at week’s end with his own play sword and customized shield of his own design. Staff: Mr. Kyle Blackmer has been teaching history, literature, and Latin at The Heights for over a decade. He is also the Director of The Heights’s famous Clan Games, a series of festive physical competitions that Heights boys compete in throughout the year. Mr. Alex Hadley teaches middle school English, Latin, and math. Before returning to his Alma Mater at The Heights, Alex taught at Northridge Prep in Chicago where he ran the Northridge edition of the Dangerous Camp for Boys. Mr. Joe Blumenauer is a 6th grade homeroom teacher at The Heights, guiding boys through English, history, science, and math. A graduate of The Heights, Joe returned to the school after teaching for several years in San Antonio. Note: All campers must be at least 4½ years old by the first day of camp.
