Don't be a Damsel in distress! Be Knight for a day!

From the Oakeshott Institute

Knight for a Day Summer Day Camps at The Oakeshott Institute
Happy Spring from the Oakeshott Institute! We are preparing for this summer's Knight for a Day Camps, and look forward to seeing all those interested in this fun activity.

In addition to last year's Viking Camp, we're offering a NEW camp called "The Age of Chivalry", which looks at the valorous and gritty world of knights in shining armor. "The Age of Chivalry" will have all new activities, and is a chance for your camper to have a different experience at the Knight for a Day Camp. Like last year, the camps are week long, half or full day, for ages 7-14.

Please call or email with any questions. You may download the flyer from this years camp page on the website. At the bottom of the flyer is the registration form, which you can print and mail in to the Oakeshott Institute. www.oakeshott.org/camp08.html

You can also see camp photos from last year on our website www.oakeshott.org/camp07.html


We are all excited for Knight for a Day Camp 2008, and hope to see you there!

Sincerely,

Annie Griffiths Belt, modern warrior with a camera

Last week I had the pleasure of attending a lecture by National Geographic photographer Annie Griffiths Belt. Annie is originally from Minneapolis, and has been working for Nat Geo since 1978. Through her slide presentation and lecture I discovered the wonderful voice of this award-winning photojournalist, whose work speaks to peace and understanding between all cultures. Her latest book is called A Camera, Two Kids and a Camel: My Journey in Photographs, and I strongly urge you all to enjoy her work.
