Parents, please note: our students’ safety is our foremost priority.
– Fencing is a physical sport. The games we play in the introductory classes may include running, jumping, and physically interacting with similar-age peers. Additionally, our trained staff may assist your child in suiting up and changing out of fencing gear. If there is anything we should know about your child to help them feel most comfortable during this class, please let us know (i.e. difficulties with attention, sensory challenges, being unusually shy in new situations, need for special medication, inhalers, etc.)
This information will help our instructors to safely engage your child and ensure everyone’s well-being.
Thank you!

Fencing camp for our Youth Invitational/Competitive Program

This camp will run simultaneously with our Beginner/Intermediate Youth Camp listed above. Fencers will be split for fencing-specific drills/situational bouting with separate coaches.

Think outside your class!
In this clinic, our coaches will work closely with all athletes to target individual strengths & weaknesses, helping them to grow as fencers and obtain the results they strive for.

Discover/discuss your opportunities for growth, make a plan, practice, & evolve!

The clinic will include:

* Agility & conditioning exercises specifically designed for each participant, to enhance the fencer’s athleticism, speed, and endurance.
* Strategical & technical discussions
* Informative discussion/demonstrations (regarding competition equipment, equipment testing, tournament preparation, tournament schedule, etc.)
* Structured and competitive bouting
* Time management, “tricks” and tips to conserve, control and distribute your energy during fencing.

Individual lessons are available after/before and/or during the camp hours, upon request.
