Join us for local camps as well as our international sleepaway camp in Vichy, France. Beginners welcome.
1) Combo Camp - A fun engaging camp combining archery, fencing and chess disciplines.
2) France Camp - Enrichment beyond the blade. A family vacation and fencing camp with French National coaches and the Head Coach of West Point Military Academy.
Full service chess club with classes, private lessons, play and tournaments.
Many of our fencing students also study the game as chess serves as an educational tool aiding in the learning of planning, cause and effect relationships, pattern recognition, and research.
Ridgefield Rave Events is the "alter ego" of Way of the Sword. By day we are a mild mannered youth development fencing club but at night we transform into an immaculate party venue that will surprise and delight you.
Watch as we transform our fencing club into a hip, non-alcoholic, "nightclub" for teen and kid parties. You won't believe your eyes...
