At Guard Up! Family Swordsmanship & NERF, we specialize in bringing imagination to life. Our Birthday Parties and Special Events are an experience you will remember for a long time to come.

1.  Looking for your child and their friends to be heroes in a story with a dragon?

2.  How about a party with a Space Warrior or Jedi theme?

3.  Argh!  Here there be Pirates, gold and monsters!

Your child’s imagination is the guide to our parties.

For a limited time, we are offering a great opportunity to visit us and try a free lesson or event before you decide whether we are the best place for your birthday party.  Take a tour of our facility, meet our instructors and entertainers, and experience and adventure for yourself.  Then tell us what you think… what you have in mind… and we can work with you to make this a birthday to remember!

Yes, you can simply register for a party if you are sure we are exactly what you are looking for (we get customers who know what they want right away).  But if you have any concerns, give us a try first.  We can even work with you to keep the trial a secret so the birthday boy or girl doesn’t know this is a trial for a party.

Why you should consider Guard Up for your next party or event:

1. We offer birthday parties and events for all ages (yes, adults, too!) and can customize our birthday packages to your needs.

2. We provide the entertainment, a large space for the adventure, the swords/nerf, the instructors and the clean-up. We also have private party rooms and other options available. Less hassle for you!

3. We can host your event or we may be able to send our instructors to your location

4. You can have a simple, one hour event or a full adventure with your choice of Foam Swords, NERF Blasters or even a themed Foil Fencing Match.

5. We can provide programs that are educational and entertaining, yet informative… or you can pull out the stops and let your imagination run wild with all of the adventurous possibilities.

6. The most important aspects of all of our offerings are that they are safe (first and foremost) and that they are fun (because that’s what keeps our audience engaged).
