Fencing is for everyone, come fence yourself silly!

Gotvik invites anyone and everyone to come join us in our very own fencing camp. Anyone can fence and if you are anyone then you are welcome to come fence with us! It does not matter if you have never tried before, if you are a beginner, an experienced fencer or a master. If you feel silly when holding a sword then all the better because this is a silly fencing camp! There will be a competition for silliest parrying device and the winner gets a prize!

If you have never tried fencing before or are new to fencing, there will be loaner gear available.

If you are an experienced fencer, there will be classes to make you an even more experienced fencer!

If you are a master there will be good fencers to challenge and the chance to guide your fellow fencers to become masters themselves in the future!

If you are anyone who likes to have fun – there will be lots of fun to be had!

So bring your silliest parrying device, put on your fencing gear or loan it when you get here! Let´s fence ourselves silly!

Fencing related
I have a dream of making fencing the best experience for spectators in the SCA!
During Gotvik´s Silly fencing camp there will be an elevated platform for the audience to watch all fencing activites. There will be a marked walking path to get in and out to the spectator´s platform without interfering with the fencing activites. There will be missions for the spectator´s to elect the best looking fencer, the most beautiful death and and the most noble fencer. I will also make sure that marshalls include the spectators and make sure that they allways know what is going on and what to expect from the activites in front of them.
Things not fencing related
The event site is pretty big. The fencing will be in the main hall. There are several spaces in other parts of the building where you can hang out if you don´t want to be in the main hall. There will be a marked walking path to get in and out without interfering with the fencing activities. This means that you can get as much or as little fencing exeperience as you want without having to wait for an activity to stop or otherwise time your movements.
Helping out
As of today 2025-07-15 there is one person responsible for the event and one person responsible for food. There will be plenty of opportunity to help out if you want to. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you are interested in helping out! It could be something big that takes alot of time or it could be something small like suggesting that another great mission for the spectators could be to elect the fencer who ….?
If none of this makes you think that this is indeed an event for you – then it is probably not – unless you have a suggestion or a question that might bring new things to light! If you do, please tell me because I would love that kind of help!
