Immerse Yourself in Four Days of Stav

Ice and Fire Summer Stav Camp 2013

5th to the 8th of September 2013, Norfolk, UK

Update: I have carefully reviewed the site and I am still convinced that this is an excellent venue for a Stav camp. However, I have also concluded that it will be best if the number of students is pegged to 12 instead of the 16 previously advertised. As of late May 7 places are already taken, so if you are serious about coming please book promptly.

The 2013 Ice and Fire Stav Summer Camp will be held in North Norfolk at the beginning of September. Graham Butcher will be organising the event and teaching. Ivar Hafskjold will be present and teaching on the Saturday and the Sunday. Alex Fell–Bowers will teach advanced Self–defence, Nigel Smith tree and plant recoginition and traditional crafts. Hugh Counsell will assist with teaching newcomers.

The location is near the historic market town of Holt. We will have the use of a magnificent barn for training, teaching, dining and socialising and a meadow for camping and outdoor training. There will also be access to woodland for training in tree and plant recognition and bushcraft skills. This will be an opportunity for four days of Stav training covering:

  • Stances
  • Runes, runelore and mythology
  • Staff training, basic and advanced
  • Axe training
  • Close quarter combat skills
  • Self–defence using the nine foundation exercises
  • Stav for health and well–being, including diet, exercise and stress release
  • Rune making and runecraft
  • Traditional skills including textiles and fire making with a firestick
  • The camp will begin on the Thursday morning and close after lunch on the Sunday. You will be welcome to arrive any time after noon on Wednesday the 4th of September and there will be supper available on the Wednesday evening.

    The site can be reached by public transport and there will be a collection from Norwich on the Wednesday evening for anyone requiring a lift from the train or bus station or the airport.

    Accommodation is camping and all meals and refreshments are included. If it is not possible for you to bring your own tent then please let us know in good time and we will be able to lend you one.
