Reenactment Lifestyles
CPH is involved in multiple medieval reenactment societies. One is a historically accurate reenactment group that focuses on period lifestyles and living of the 13th-17th century culture, known as the SCA. One can choose to participate in Heavy Weapon Combat, Fencing, Royal Court, Scribal, Arts and Science Competitions or attend one of the many offered classes that teach about the period lifestyle.

Fighter Journal Entry dated March 23rd 2015 - An Ice Dragon Recap - "While I do not know where I ranked percentile wise, I sure did enjoy and am satisfied with my first tournament. I arrived a bit late to start, so I was behind already, but the fighting was wonderful.
There is so much talent out there. I found myself even enjoying loosing as a chance to appreciate how much more skill there is to fighting, body kinetics, and physics. Getting clobbered just makes me want to try again with more effort. I really enjoyed the chance to dance with so many others I have never been exposed to before; to admire their step and understanding of energy transfer.
Had a few memorable moments on the list that really stand out and I feel like my fighter leveled up a bit, while I remain humbled by my exposure to those with much more experience than I. Keeps me smiling and pushes me to strive for more in the future."

Dagorhir Battle Games
The other reenactment I participate in is a full-contact, live-action combat game called Dagorhir. Combatants battle with foam-padded boffer weaponry and equipment, while enacting battle scenarios with a variety of melee and range specific battle tactics. In this game, the weapons are padded, not necessary the fighter. These are pieces of my personal kit, crafted by my hands.
