Swordplay will present a free demonstration of the Olympic sport of fencing. This lightning-fast sport grew out of the practice for sword fighting but has evolved into an exciting and safe sport done the world over. If you have ever been
curious about fencing and thought it would be exciting now is your chance to find out all about it with no cost or obligation.
Summer Day Camps
Swordplay again presents our fun and challenging camps. Kids 8-15, beginning or advanced, are invited to fence, have fun, and enjoy our lightning-fast Olympic sport. Besides a grounding in the fundamentals and advancing into the more intricate moves each day will feature a fun sword related theme: Pirates, Spiderwick Chronicles, Knights of the Round Table, Star Wars, Harry Potter, Musketeers and others!
