This week our journey will lead us back to the time of the armored knights of Europe.  These mounted warriors lived by a code of chivalry and were immortalized in the legends of King Arthur and of Robin Hood.  In addition to our standard offerings listed above, Medieval Week will include a study of European armor and the hands-on practice of leather work.

Samurai Week – July 4th-8th

This week we will be transported to ancient Japan and experience the world of the samurai.  These famed warriors were known for their mastery of the sword, archery and horsemanship, as well as, creative arts such as calligraphy, flower arranging and tea ceremony.  In addition to our standard offerings listed above, Samurai Week will also include an in-depth exploration of zen painting and calligraphy.
