Canton of Coille Stoirmeil
Welcome to Coille Stoirmeil, a Society for Creative Anachronism group in central Wisconsin!
The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) has over 100,000 participants worldwide who recreate different aspects of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Members learn about the eras they recreate through research, by wearing the clothing of the time, engaging in heavy weapon and rapier combat, in addition to thrown weapons, archery, various crafts, arts and sciences practiced between 600 and 1600 AD in Europe. These include a wide variety of topics, clothing, food, armor, music, brewing and much and more. Nearly any art or craft that was done during the era is done by someone in the SCA.
Events are held year-round, ranging from simple get together to learn new skills and discuss your interests. There are fun weekend camping events almost every weekend during the summer (and even some in the winter) within driving distance of our area! Then there are the great events such as the annual Pennsic Wars lasting several weeks with attendance surpassing 10,000 people with every art, craft and combat method from the middle ages possible.
For more information on the SCA, a great introductory resource for newcomers is available at SCA Demo. For more detailed information, the official SCA site has some great resources at Newcomers Resources.
