Sword Camp

The thrill of the duel, the joy of swordplay, and friendships made through honourable combat.

Have your child spend a thrilling week in Prince Rupert’s only swordplay and fencing skills camp learning about the noble arts of wrestling, dagger, sword and staff in our gorgeous studio in the Museum of Northern BC

The five-day camp curriculum is focused on the Armizare (the Art of Arms) of Fiore dei Liberi, from the martial arts of the two handed longsword, the rondel dagger, and the spear, to the practice of knightly virtues such as courage and prudence. Students at Sword Camp learn about history, leadership, ethics, medieval games & dance and more.

Everyone uses properly weighted and balanced synthetic swords that give the authentic feel of the real thing, while staying safe and easy to manage. Students will also get the opportunity to interact with real swords and armour as well as create their own medieval board games to bring home. Each week finishes with a grand-finale tournament and demonstration where they get to show off all of they've learned to their parents and friends.
