The kids at the February clinic had a blast, now you can too! Join us for our awesome four-day April fencing clinic! Beginners through intermediate level fencers age 8-14.
(Younger experienced fencers may participate with coach's okay.)  New fencers will learn fencing basics,experienced fencers will improve their skills. There will be lots of fencing time and an opportunity to fence all three weapons.
In addition to fencing, we will have warm-up games and exercises to improve balance, agility, hand-eye coordination and tactical thinking. Basic equipment trouble-shooting and armoring skills will also be covered.
Learn to juggle! Juggling is a skill that compliments fencing -- students will learn basic juggling techniques and will make their own set of juggling balls.
There will be a variety of board games available for use during lunch breaks, including Chess, Checkers, Stratego, Risk and Battleship. We ask that students leave electronic games at home.
 
Students should bring a lunch and snacks each day, and wear athletic clothing, including clean, dry sneakers.
