3rd Annual CKDF Spar-be-Que, Campout, & HEMAlympics

Please join us for the 3rd Annual CKDF HEMAlympics, Spar-be-Que, and Campout.

What is it? This event combines informal cutting & sparring with a potluck-style cookout, goofy HEMA-themed field day events, and a camp out for out-of-towners and anyone else who doesn't want to drive home.

What do you need to bring? CKDF will provide the utensils and main dish (typically hamburgers, kosher hotdogs, vegetarian options, and buns). You provide a side dish, drinks, ice, or whatever else we might need. You should also bring a change of clothes, your fencing gear (if you have any), and your camping gear.  If you are participating in the games, YOU WILL GET WET.

Please check out the Spar-be-Que Pot Luck Form to see what we need.

Who can come? Friendly HEMA people, partners, friends, & family of HEMA people, HEMA-curious visitors, and friendly dogs

About CKDF Spar-Be-Ques

The tradition of the CKDF Spar-be-Que dates back to 2015 when we only had class one day a week. In 2016, in celebration of the Olympic Games, we added a HEMA-twist to some field day events. The games are open to HEMA students and muggles alike. No skill is needed, just enthusiasm and a great sense of humor. This year, we have a team of creative folks cooking up some fun games. And yes, Dizzy Pell is going to happen.
