Society for Creative Anachronism
The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) is an international non-profit volunteer educational organization. The SCA is devoted to the research and re-creation of pre-seventeenth century skills, arts, combat, culture, and employing knowledge of history to enrich the lives of participants through events, demonstrations, and other educational presentations and activities.
Members of the SCA study and take part in a variety of activities, including combat, archery, equestrian activities, costuming, cooking, metalwork, woodworking, music, dance, calligraphy, fiber arts, and much more. If it was done in the Middle Ages or Renaissance, odds are you’ll find someone in the SCA interested in recreating it.

Caid
The Kingdom of Caid, a branch of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), brings the Middle Ages and Renaissance to life across Southern California, the greater Las Vegas area, and Hawaii. Members in these regions participate in a vibrant community dedicated to recreating the arts, sciences, and martial traditions of the pre-17th century world.
Throughout the Kingdom, you'll find a wide array of activities, including armored and rapier combat, archery, and thrown weapons. Beyond the battlefield, members explore historical arts and sciences such as costuming, cooking, calligraphy, music, and more. Regular events, ranging from local gatherings and tournaments to grand feasts and large-scale wars, provide ample opportunities to learn new skills, socialize in period attire, and immerse yourself in a welcoming historical recreation community.
