Greetings from the Youth Activities Staff of Gulf Wars!

We have been working hard to ensure that the children coming to Gulf Wars will have a wide assortment of fun and educational classes and activities. We hope that they enjoy them as much as we've enjoyed planning them.

First off, we'd like to remind everyone that Gleann Abhann Law states that:

"Children under the age of 12 must be within the sight or voice range of a designated adult, or responsible teenager - age 15 or older, at all times. Failure to do so may result in sanctions ranging from expulsion from site to notification of mundane authorities."

Sight or voice range will be determined by the Gulf Wars Staff. We realize that this is not necessarily the law in other kingdoms, but it is the law here and it will be enforced.

• Each session of Page School Activities will be limited to 50 children.
• Each session must have at least 5 adult volunteers. Adequate volunteer staffing ensures we can provide activities to the maximum number of children.
• Children between the ages of 5 and 11 must be signed in to Page School Activities by a parent or guardian who is at least 16 years of age.
• Children must be retrieved from Page School within 15 minutes of the end of each session or they will be turned over to the Watch.

Now, time for the fun stuff!

Youth Activities have been divided into three main areas. Please check the site book and announcement boards on site for schedules and places.

Page School: Ages 5 to 11. Tuesday through Friday (10 to 12 and 1 to 3). Page School Tent. Children must be signed in by parent or guardian.

Gulf Wars Page School offers classes on a wide assortment of Medieval and SCA topics, presented in a fun and often hands-on manner. Snacks are not offered (water is), and children should not bring toys or personal items to class. The Gulf Wars Page School should be compatible with all Kingdom and Local Page Schools. If you have any questions, please contact the Youth Activities Staff.

Young Apprentice Series: Ages 12 to 17. Check the class schedules and watch the Herald's boards for classes.

Teens should look through the main class schedule for topics that interest them. Teachers who welcome younger students have marked their classes as such. Also, keep an eye out for special hands on sessions at Artisan's Row especially designed for teens.

In Service,
