Support the Next Chapter of Ye Olde Commons

Donation protected
For years, this camp has been a gathering place for dreamers, adventurers, and storytellers, a home for the unique, the bold, and the wonderfully imaginative. It has become a sanctuary where people from all walks of life can build fantasy worlds together, in a community that celebrates acceptance, creativity, and belonging.

Under the name Olde World Entertainment, we have been managing the beloved grounds known as Ye Olde Commons and hosting events that bring this magical space to life. In just over a year, we’ve seen something truly special begin to grow. The success of Autumn Knights Faire showed us that the heart of this camp is beating stronger than ever, fueled by passion and dedication.

Now, we are ready to take the next step in securing the future of this community hub.
We are actively working to purchase the property so that we can protect and preserve it for the generations of adventurers still to come. Through the incredible support of our community, we have already raised $25,000 toward our down payment. We are now seeking to raise an additional $25,000 so we can finalize the loan necessary to buy the camp and expand what this place can offer to everyone who calls it home.


Our Improvement Plan: Built in Phases to Protect the Future

When we achieve this purchase, the work has only just begun. Owning the land allows us to invest directly into improving and rebuilding the spaces that make this camp so special. We will be tackling improvements in clear, achievable phases:
Phase One: Secure the Home of Adventure

- Complete the property purchase
- Begin essential safety inspections and upgrades
- Plan infrastructure improvements to support expanding community use

Phase Two: Build the Next Chapter

- Repair and reinforce roofing and flooring across key buildings
- Restore outdoor field lighting for nighttime events
- Add more sleeping cabins for visiting adventurers
- Improve roadways and grounds access for all guests
- Finish the basement to create a true staff HQ and operations hub
- Insulate and fully close the walls in the modular building for year-round use

Every dollar given moves us closer to a safer, stronger, more accessible home for all who step into this world of imagination.
