What's that you say? The "Current Middle Ages?"
You heard right! Caer Galen is a chapter group in the historical recreation organization known as "The Society for Creative Anachronism," or "SCA" for short. The SCA is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the better qualities, and education, of historical living (i.e. no plague, destitution, or slavery). The SCA focuses from the time of the Roman Empire to the end of Queen Elizabeth I's reign, and encompasses historical Europe, parts of North Africa, and Asia. The SCA is broken into "Kingdoms" across the "Known World." Kingdoms are further organized into "Baronies, Shires,etc."

A note about this site
The website you are currently viewing is being depreciated. It has been a labor of love over the the many years, but the time has come for new iteration to come into the forefront. The sunset date is slated for sometime this summer. Updates to these pages will become more infrequent as the sunset draws closer. The baronial calendar will be maintained. Announcements regarding this matter will be posted on the Socials.
It has been an honor to bring this website to the populace, and rest assured the the new iteration will be even better.
In service,
Master Wolfgang, Webwryght
Summer practice changes
Good day all!
As it was announced at the May Folkmoot, the summer practice site is moving. The City of Longmont has repurposed a majority of the southwest corner of Roosevelt Park (where we have had summer practice for years) to expand and upgrade the playground that is directly north.
Their Excellencies, Seneschal, and Knight marshal discussed various alternative locations and decided upon Thompson Park as a viable solution. Thompson Park is just south of Roosevelt Park, is sizable, and has adequate lighting if people desire some practice after sunset. It has many of the same amenities as Roosevelt Park.
It is located at 420 Bross St (literally two blocks south). So starting on June 2nd, we’ll congregate at the southwest corner of Thompson Park for fun, fighting, and frivolity!
In service,
Wolfgang
