Next time you're at the Castle, be sure to check out our very lonely Lost & Found bin. It is filled to the brim with jackets, bags, swords, and hats that have been cast aside throughout the winter months. So if you've been looking for a lost piece of clothing for a while now, look here next. All items that have not been claimed after 30 days will be given to charity.

This Day Camp for ages 5 and 6 is perfect for some of the youngest heroes around. Our staff to camper ratio for Little Knights camp is the highest out of all of our programs, so your Hero will benefit from much one-on-one attention with our trained instructors.
We are looking for a new Videographer for our Summer Camp.
If you know someone who wants to make videos of kids learning and swordfighting all summer long, direct them to our Videographer Job Opening, and have them contact us.

Our Guardians are all big fans of Ted.com and other educational and inspirational videos. As such, each week we will share with you some of our favorite videos that inspire, persuade, entertain, and inform. These views do not necessarily reflect those of Guard Up, but can provide another perspective to consider. We hope you enjoy them.
Why must artists be poor? | Hadi Eldebek
The arts bring meaning to our lives and spirit to our culture -- so why do we expect artists to struggle to make a living? Hadi Eldebek is working to create a society where artists are valued through an online platform that matches artists with grants and funding opportunities -- so they can focus on their craft instead of their side hustle.
