ABOUT
Dark side or light side?
Musketeer or Warrior?
No matter which side you choose, this camp will teach you all the basics of fighting with a sword - be it an epee, foil, saber or laser saber. The soon-to-be masters will work in teams to learn the moves, techniques, and strategies of true sword fighters. Campers will learn the Olympic style of fencing in all three disciplines (Foil, Epee and Saber) as well as the fundamental forms of the Laser Saber. In addition to learning the fine art of Olympic fencing and laser saber fighting, campers will be challenged to solve missions, puzzles, and problems using the force for the greater good of the team.
