Fencing is a vigorous sport that develops stamina, quick reactions, speed, accuracy of movement and excellent coordination. More than a game, fencing requires a mental attitude of self-discipline involving total manipulation of mind and body in perfect harmony. It utilizes natural body movement to create simple and effective self-protection techniques with the sword. All participants are encouraged to have fun no matter what their ability. Attacking, defense, timing and intense tactics are all integrated into this beginning class. We can provide fencing gear (mask, jacket, glove, and weapon). Fencers should come dressed comfortably (for freedom of movement) including long sweat pants and running shoes.

Discover the joy of skating with our Learn to Skate program! Skaters will have a fun and focused learning experience. Guided by experienced instructors, participants will develop balance, confidence, and fundamental skating techniques in a supportive environment. This class is geared for both hockey and figure skaters. All beginner skaters must wear a helmet— bike helmets are acceptable. Free skate rentals (hockey or figure skates) are available for all participants. Please note: The time listed is a general program time; participants will be notified of their assigned skate time prior to the start date, as each group will skate during a portion of the listed time.
