Fencing was one of the first sports to be recognized in modern Olympics. Fencing has been described as “chess with muscles,” suggesting that complicated strategy lies behind the thrusts and parries that punctuate a duel. Fencers of today employ a combination of archaic and modern customs; combatants still salute before a match and wear the traditional white uniforms and masks, but scoring is now determined by electronic padding worn by the combatants that registers when a hit takes place with flashing, color-coded lights.
Themed art camps for ages 5 – 13. Each camp includes clay, sculptures, painting and drawing. One-week (Monday thru Friday) session, weekdays morning (9am to 12 noon) or afternoon (1pm- 4pm).
