What People Are Saying

"
Academie Duello has become my second home. The instructors are world-class, but what really sets this place apart is the community. Everyone is so welcoming and supportive, regardless of skill level.

We came for a friend's birthday and had the best time! The instructors made us feel like real swashbucklers. Can't wait to come back and try archery next time.

My son has attended Knight Camp for three summers now. The growth I've seen in his confidence, focus, and physical abilities has been remarkable. He counts down the days until camp starts each year.

I brought my team here for a corporate event expecting a fun afternoon. What we got was an unforgettable experience that had everyone talking for weeks. The perfect mix of physical challenge and pure fun.

Our Grade 6 students were completely engaged from start to finish. The program connected perfectly to our medieval history unit, and the kids are still talking about it weeks later.
