Knighthood

The Knighthood Program allows Senior campers the opportunity to challenge themselves individually as they develop skills in activities of their choice. “Requirements”, as we call them, are set in place as guidelines for marking improvement and attainment of skills, techniques, and talents. In each camp activity, campers can progressively achieve levels of Page, Squire, Sentry and Knight.

A ceremony is held at the end of each session during which Campers are honored for their achievements with t-shirt and recognition by each of the activity leaders.

In addition, a camper can become an overall Page when he/she meets the requirements of Page in at least three activities.

The next overall level, Squire, is the accumulation of Squire in at least four activities. This level typically entails more difficult and numerous requirements and is a great achievement.

Sentry follows Squire and now requirements become quite challenging. An overall Sentry requires achieving that level in at least five activities. This level demands commitment and hard work.

The last and final level, that of Knight, is an achievement that few have reached in the history of High Meadows Camp, typically only one or two per summer. This level requires seven activities with Knight accomplishments. These requirements are often very difficult, even unattainable by some. When this level is achieved, recognition is given at the award ceremony as well, but with a special addition: following a reading of the Arthurian legend, a camper who has achieved the overall level of knight is given the opportunity to pull the sword Excalibur from stones in the center of Stonehenge and his/her name is added to a permanent sign hanging at Stonehenge.
