With the Civil War Living History Institute's (http://www.cwlhi.org) upcoming Reenactor Command and Staff College (RCSC) program in the works, I was curious as to what offerings existed out there for the common soldier (be it for first timers, folks getting back into the hobby, etc)?

Annually groups hosts Camp of Instruction events...typically somewhere from the end of Winter to mid-Spring.
The 23rd VA and our affiliate units hosted a Camp of Instruction, a few weeks ago at Petersburg National Military Park (focus on School of the Soldier and School of the Squad, with a little added instruction on packing equipment, eating on campaign...and instruction in building gabions for field-fortifications).
The Potomac Legion will be hosting their Camp of Instruction in just a few more weeks...focus on the "common-soldier".
Are these the types of events your asking about?
