En Garde Fencing Camps

En Garde Fencing Camps offers fencing, archery, Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA), Youth HEMA, LED Sabers, Cutting Edge Fitness, Warrior Strength, Fencing Adventure Camp, and Sword and Archery camps. In many camps, kids train with foam replicas of swords and shields from the Medieval period and learn the skills of the bow through archery. In most community center camps, both fencing and archery are taught together, and equipment is provided free of charge.

• Ages: 7–12 years old
• Schedule: Camps run in sessions such as December 29–January 2 (no camp on January 1), with Santa Rosa camps usually offering morning and afternoon sessions and a one-hour supervised lunch break in between

En Garde Fencing Camps asks kids to bring a bag lunch and dress in tennis shoes and shorts or sweats. The mission of En Garde Fencing is that mental and physical development through carefully guided training is key to creating a healthy and balanced life. Jim is the owner.
