NEW DATES ADDED! Coach Jim is excited to be back in Bourne to teach students the skilled sport of fencing!
Let's get ready for the Paris Summer Olympic Games! Bourne Rec is partnering with Owner and Head Coach of the Cape Cod Fencers Club, Jim Rose to offer intro to fencing. Fencing, often referred to as "Physical Chess" is a combat sport in which two competitors fight each other using very thin swords. The ends of the swords are covered and the competitors wear protective clothes, so that they do not hurt each other.
Intro to Fencing will focus on hand-eye coordination, balance, and quick reflexes. Jim will provide full fencing gear (a face mask, jacket, and fencing glove) for all participants to borrow during this program. All participants should come with comfy, active clothes, and sneakers.
NEW Dates: Thursdays, April 4th-May 9th (No Class 4/18)
Time: 4:15pm-5:15pm
Cost: $65.00 Res - $75.00 Non-Res
Eligibility: Grades 3-5
Location: Bourne Community Building
The Recreation Department is not responsible for participants prior to the scheduled start of a program. We ask that caregivers stay with their children until attendance has been taken and the participant has been properly signed into the program with the instructor. Participants will be dismissed from the program to the caregiver promptly at conclusion. Caregivers must be physically present at dismissal. If you require any special accommodations related to dismissal, please communicate that with the Recreation Staff prior to the start of the program.
