Camp Geiger is an event in Whitehall, PA on June 12-14. It is held in honor of Christopher Geiger who died in Afganistan while serving his country. He was not only a fellow reenactor, but a good friend. The event itself mainstream, but through my support we have created an authentic adjunct. The camps will be divided into two different sites. The mainstreamers will have their own section, while the authentic part will have another. The authentic side will consist of hand built, period trench works for both federal and confederate. Both companies will need to sleep in and man the trenches at all times. Authenticity will be of the utmost important here. The trenches will be "live" for the entire event. It will be up to the men in the trenches when they wish to attack the other side (even at night!). Picket posts will be held the entire event in the trench area. We wish to have at least an authentic company per side. The trench area will not be like the mainstream event. It will completely authentic. This is a growing event with about 300 people and i am working extremely hard with our board to change it to a more authentic event. Any support would be greatly appreciated and it will also prove that the system works and we can work to make it a much more authenitc event. Please visit our website to recieve more information. It also has photos of what the trenches look like. They have been extended even farther for this year. The notice for the authentic section have not been added to the website but will be shortly. If you would have any other questions comments please feel free to send me a message. Thank you very much!
