February 8, 2024The Crow Wing Viking Festival has worked with the skalds from Viking Encampment for several years and have been very pleased. The audiences are enthralled with their performances, and we get unsolicited positive feedback from audience members.
Additionally, the group is very easy to work with, They are more than willing to discuss our needs and tailor their programs accordingly.

February 3, 2024I hired the Viking Encampment to be the entertainment for the Samhain Symposium. I was thrilled with their performance. The communication and details prior to the event were on point. They worked with the schedule and criteria for the day. Engaging the attendees in story telling. Amazing experience. Can't wait to hire them again.

The Viking Encampment cast is heavily influenced from historical documentation and research, media, Hollywood, etc. We want our guests to feel welcome when they visit, but we will also explain the difference between history and fantasy.
