Dear KidsOutAndAbout readers:

If your child has ever dreamed of picking up a real sword, drawing a longbow, or designing their own coat of arms, there is still time to give them that summer. Academie Duello's Knight Camp is the only authentic knight school for youth in Canada, and for kids ages 8 to 14 it turns a single week of summer into something they talk about all year.

Running in Vancouver since 2010, Knight Camp gives young knights five action-packed days of swordplay, archery, and historical European martial arts taught from real medieval sources, alongside heraldry, teamwork, and the ten knightly virtues that quietly become the heart of the week. It is play with real substance, and kids leave braver, more focused, and proud of what they have earned.

Days are spent training in knightly skills, exploring a working arms-and-armour collection, and rising through a different rank each time they come, toward a knighting ceremony that families still talk about years later. With a maximum of just 30 young knights-in-training per week, each child gets real coaching and real attention.

For more information, visit their website or contact them at 604-568-9907 (from 2 pm to 8 pm weekdays) or at [email protected] with questions.

Warmly,
