Spring Summer 2024

It hardly seems like there was a winter, yet, as I write this, there is more snow in the forecast than we have seen for the entire year Such is life in Minnesota, I guess. But, I promise we don't have our catalogs flipped and that this is, in fact, the spring catalog. We hope you find something you can look forward to attending We have some exciting things in store for the spring and summer including several theater opportunities, a natural product workshop, several sports workshops no matter the athletic interest and culinary delights for all ages! We hope you enjoy our spring and summer offerings at Chisago Lakes Community Education. See you in a class!

FENCING | AGES 6+

Instructor: Maria Benford

Whatever you are looking for in the sport of fencing there is something for everyone! 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 Whether you're fencing for a good work out, or gaining points for the Olympics, fencing is fun for the whole family We provide everything needed to fence (mask, jacket, glove, and weapon).
