The city of Las Vegas is known for its adult entertainment, with plenty of casinos, high-end restaurants and shows, but this does not mean your children have to be left out of the fun. Across Las Vegas, there are numerous summer day programs designed for children to have fun and to be active. These programs range from sports-centered to educational.
Fencing
For a special summer experience, have your child learn a new sport. At the Fencing Academy of Nevada Las Vegas, children ages 7 to 14 can spend the day learning how to fence. Children are separated into groups based on age and experience. No fencing experience is necessary. Children can learn épée, foil or sabre-style fencing. Sessions run Monday through Friday and are offered as morning and afternoon sessions.
