Camps

Our youth camps are designed for Youth Beginner students and kids who are brand‑new to fencing. It’s also a great chance for current fencers to introduce the sport to friends and share how fun it can be.

This five‑day camp builds strong foundational skills and introduces more advanced concepts. Students will enjoy fencing games and other activities throughout the day.
