Can I request to go on a crew with a friend?
We purposefully choose to place Crew Members in the field that do not know one another prior to the program. We feel that this cultivates a compelling and distinct experience for each crew member. Spending time with unfamiliar people can be daunting, but we assure you that an SCA experience most often results in expanded perspectives, physical limitations tested, core values redefined, and even shifts in musical taste!
