About

Our Mission is to foster a community where Newcomers feel valued,
respected, and supported. We define a Newcomer as anyone that is new to the SCA, Kingdom of Calontir, or to Lilies War.

We strive to cultivate a culture of mentorship and support for these new
people, regardless of their background or experience level. Our ultimate goal is to send our guests off with confidence into their new SCA adventure.

Why Choose Newcomer’s Glen?

Newcomers’ Glen Hosts provide a clearly defined and welcoming
encampment with easy-to-follow camp rules, ensuring a safe and
comfortable environment for newcomers from all walks of life.

A Food Plan

Our focus on inclusivity extends to dietary needs, such as an allergy-conscious meal plan, available essentials, and provided breakfast available to everyone in camp. (Donations are encouraged but
not required)

Newcomer Focused Classes in Our Teaching Area

We offer a range of in-camp activities and classes specifically designed for newcomers, covering essential skills and building knowledge of the inner workings of the SCA

The Glen Hosts

Newcomer’s Glen is run by a small group of volunteers who wanted to focus on curating a more inclusive and engaging experience for those who are new to the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA).

The Hosts are based out of the Kingdom of Calontir, but believe that this effort could be adopted by any group wanting to enrich the newcomer experience.
