Camps

Engaging programs for all skill levels

Camps at Northwest Fencing Center are designed for different age and skill groups. With options for all ages and experience levels, NWFC’s camps focus on the core foundations of fencing and immerse the fencer in a week of learning and experience with a variety of athletes and styles.

With over a decade of experience providing world-class fencing instruction to athletes, our accredited coaches are dedicated to providing a supportive, inspiring, and fun atmosphere to foster a love of the sport. NWFC believes in the growth of the athlete, both on the strip and off.

For athletes attending a camp from outside of the area and looking for arrangements, we suggest our partner hotel, Double Tree by Hilton. If you are traveling to NWFC and have additional questions, contact the Front Desk.
