Our summer camps consist of fencing games, footwork, conditioning, development of proper skills and technique using drills and bouting.
Fencing is known to be physical chess. Your child will dabble in chess during our July weeks while learning the fundamentals of fencing.
Weeks vary by weapon, age and ability from beginner to elite, age 4 to adult.
All camps are be taught by our elite coaching staff consisting of National, International and Olympic coaches. Campers will need to bring a T-shirt, sweatpants, indoor non marking athletic sneakers, water bottle and lunch.
