The members of the SCA endeavor to recapture the ambiance of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and also to rekindle the lost ideals of chivalry, courtesy, honor and graciousness. We are part of the Principality of Northshield which is part of the region known as the Middle Kingdom or the Midrealm. Our local branch, called the Shire of Rockhaven , has a membership from the central Minnesota communities of St. Cloud, Sartell, Sauk Rapids, Waite Park, and St. Joseph, as well as surrounding communities and the College of St. Benedict, St. John's University and St. Cloud State University.
Membership consists of a wide range of ages and interests.
Monthly, we hold period parties in costume, or garb, called moots. Archery, fencing and fighter practice is conducted twice weekly, while the guilds set their own schedules. Please see the local calendar for dates and locations. New members or the curious observer are warmly welcomed. The Shire of Rockhaven is dedicated to providing an atmosphere of learning, sharing, growth and recognition through the studies and re-enactment of medieval life.
