Chancellor of Youth Activities, Kingdom of Atlantia

Greetings! This page is here to help parents who have children interested in the SCA or currently involved in the SCA. The information here is specific to the Kingdom of Atlantia, but can be useful no matter where you live.

Currently the youth programs in Atlantia are broken down by age groups:

Children’s Corners are for ages 4-8.

The Pages Academy is for older children, ages 9-14.

Youth Activities are for teens over the age of 14.

Our goal in Atlantia is to include the children and teens in the SCA through age appropriate activities; educational opportunities; socializing opportunities and hopefully fun activities. Please be aware that these activities are part of the normal events and are not a baby-sitting service. Your child will be expected to behave in an appropriate manner and will be returned to you if there is an issue. We hope that by working with you, the parent, we can involve the youth and make the SCA and Atlantia a greater place to live.

Please be aware that if your child wants to attend an event, they must be accompanied by you (the parent) or by a guardian. The Society requires specific forms to be filled out and shown at the event in order for the minor to attend or to participate in fighting or other activities. You can get copies of these forms here:
