Fencing for Ages 7 and olderJoin us for this exciting sport, one of the fastest growing in the world. People of all ages are fascinated by the movements and excitement of fencing and are eager to find a place that they can go and learn this original, modern sport.

Fencing develops physical fitness, the ability to create a strategy, concentration, as well as camaraderie and respect.

Please note that Michael will donate $25 to the Wakefield Interfaith Food Pantry for each registra-tion we receive from a first-time participant in one of our Wakefield Recreation Fencing.

Equipment Policy and Rental: Our policy is that NEFA provides new fencers with equipment for the first eight weeks. For the second and each subsequent session, there is a rental fee payable to the instructor of $40 for eight classes. An individual may instead purchase (recommended) a beginner set (7 pieces) that costs approximately $200. The set includes a foil, mask, jacket, glove, underarm protector, plastic chest protector and a fencing bag.

Cancellations: If we need to cancel fencing on a scheduled fencing day, one may make up the class on another day in Arlington, Reading or Winchester regardless of where one fences.

About the Instructor: Michael Tarascio was a member of the United States World Championship Team in Men’s Foil. Michael is a Level 4 Foil coach certified through the United States Fencing Associ-ation. Also, certified through the Positive Coaching Alliance and the American Sports Education Program. He teaches Recreational Classes for Youth, Teens, and Adults. Also, Michael teaches Advanced Level Technique and Tactics Classes and provides Individual Coaching for the Serious Competitive Fencer. Michael’s philosophy on fencing is: “Participate in fencing because it’s fun.”

Campfire Guitar Songs with Steve Belleville

The goal here is to make some noise and have some fun! We won’t get too bogged down in music theory and notation. We’ll spend six one-hour sessions

learning tuning, strumming, chords, rhythm, reading basic charts, guitar maintenance, and eventually playing songs.

Students will need to provide an acoustic guitar, notebook, and ideally extra strings and a clip-on tuner. With six weeks of classes and a little practicing in between, we’ll have you up and running in time for campfire season.

Meet the Instructor: Steve Belleville is a MA native who just returned to the North Shore after ten years performing music in Asia. Previously, Steve taught at North Shore Community College and Brookwood Elementary, as well as clinics at dozens of colleges and high schools. Steve has over 100 albums to his credit as a session musician. When he’s not teaching or playing, he likes frisbee, frozen M&Ms, and high fives.

Guitars NOT provided. Follow these links for recommendations for

create a constitution of laws. Students have the opportunity to run for mayor, open their own business, debate city issues and design city buildings. Social studies, history and civics have never been so fun!

Our expert architects create a three-dimensional model of the structure and present their work to invited parents.

Boating is FunYouth Boating Day Programs are a great way to spend summer days having fun and making new friends. Our programs strive to teach safe

boating in a fun learning environment by instruct-ing and reinforcing boating safety and skills.

Our child to staff ratio is 8 to 1, promoting personal interactions between campers and counselors. Each child is assigned to a specific counselor during each session. Counselors are expected to supervise children specifically grouped with them and to keep a general awareness of the activities of other counselors’ groups.

These week-long sessions are filled with lots of time on the water learning paddling strokes, sailing terms and independence on the water. Choose sailing or kayaking (full days can include either or both!) and watch your little skipper transform into a commander of the seas.

Goals• Understanding of boating and paddling skills• Learn through hands on experience• Build on the water confidence• Build self confidence and leadership by working

with othersAges: 8 –13Time: 9:00am – 4:00pm Full Day

9:00am – 12:00pm Ha;f DayWhere: Spot Pond in StonehamFee: Full Day $439, Half Day $279

per one-week session

Activities: Teen activities are based off skills assessed by nationally recognized organizations such as the American Red Cross, US Sailing, US Powerboating, and the American Canoe Association (ACA). In addition to paddling and sailing lessons, teen campers will have an opportunity to earn their Red Cross First Aid and CPR certificates. They’ll learn basic water rescues, like those used by life-guards and safe boating instructors. Furthermore, they will engage in team building activities and learn to work with camper, counselors, and other teens in a cooperative environment.Benefits: Boating For Teens Camp is a great program for teens who are interested in working with children, the outdoor recreation industry, and customer service, and much more! Teen Camp also increases the chances that teens may be hired to work at Boating in Boston in the future .We love to see the young people who grew up in our camp return year after year. Some even return in their college years to intern in marketing, finance, human resources, and operations!Goals:• Understanding of boating and paddling skills• Learn through hands on experience• Build on the water confidence• Build self confidence and leadership by working

Teen Camp is offered at three-week increments, giving campers plenty of opportunities to demon-strate leadership skills and to learn more advanced boating techniques. Problem-solving and critical thinking are abilities that teens will naturally pick up in this fun, authentic learning environment.
