I hope you all are as excited about Pennsic as I am!
Pennsic is the largest event in the SCA, with a lot of different sights, sounds, and activities. For someone new it can be a bit overwhelming and can certainly raise a lot of questions! That’s why we have several options to help you get settled on site and answer any questions you may have from structured
Newcomer classes in Pennsic University, to Newcomer’s Point where you can drop in any
time. Our staff and volunteers are committed to helping you feel at home once you arrive!
Newcomer’s Point
Newcomers’ Point is a place where Newcomers can sit down, grab some water, ask questions,
and learn more about Pennsic and the SCA in general. We are also available to help
Newcomers get involved with their local group after Pennsic.
Location: in the same Tent as the Pennsic Town Hall, located close to the coopers store, across from the Ice Store.
Hours: Sunday, July 27-Wednesday, Aug 6, 9am-5pm
Newcomer’s Class Track at Pennsic University
Every year we have a special Newcomers’s track of classes offered through Pennsic University.
These classes will mostly be geared towards those who are new to the SCA and Pennsic and are coordinated by the Newcomer’s Point Deputy.
Please check online at Pennsic University to see which classes will be offered each day.
Volunteer
For those of you who are not new to the SCA or Pennsic, if you are able to take a little bit of
time to support these activities for our Newcomers, we will be incredibly appreciative. Let’s work
together to make Pennsic 50 amazingly special for Newcomers! For more information, or if you
would like to volunteer to help, please email me.
