Though it might not exactly be summer weather, summer holidays are here, and the cities of Issaquah and Sammamish have planned a full program to keep everyone busy and entertained, from the young to the young at heart.

Anyone for a duel? Issaquah’s Summer Fencing Camp is for ages 8 and up. Join the Washington Fencing Academy for “fitness with an edge. Campers will learn the Olympic style of competitive fencing, including equipment techniques, learning to bout with other campers. And you can test what you leaned in a mini-tournament.

Fencing is a fast, energetic sport that requires your mind and your body to work together. No prior experience is required, and all ages and fitness levels are welcomed.

The City of Issaquah is also hosting summer softball leagues at Tibbetts Valley Park.

Games, which will start in early August, are officiated by USSSA Umpires.

The Jack ‘n’ Jill coed league is for ages 18 and up, and depending on the division, games are played Tuesdays and Thursdays, or Mondays and Wednesdays.

There will also be a mens league for ages 35 and up.
