Be welcomed into historical masterworks with SHAK's signature fun and kid-tested approach. Enroll for one or both five-week class series whether you're a newcomer or a continuing student. In this class you'll learn about Shakespeare's life and times through some of his most famous characters. We'll act out scenes together, learn plenty of new words, and explore Elizabethan stagecraft, language, and sound effects.
Historical Fencing, ages 7-14
Guest appearances by Maître d'Armes Cecil Longino have been a favorite part of many SHAK camps for more than a decade. Now we have special classes with this instructor devoted entirely to historical fencing, discovering both the thrill of action and the dignity of etiquette and posture that are encoded in this noble art.
