Parents, finish your holiday shopping child-free!

Our December Break Fencing Camp for Beginners is an exciting opportunity for newcomers to try the Olympic sport of fencing in a supportive, fun environment.
Three or Five Days available.
Fencing captures the imagination, encourages creativity, builds confidence, physical and mental skills.
Modern fencing requires the courage, stamina, speed, and agility of a fighter, combined with the brains of a chess player, to out-think your opponent.
Led by experienced coaches, the camp will focus on building confidence, coordination, and sportsmanship while also emphasizing safety and proper form.

The campers will be grouped by age/experience.
Full fencing gear is provided at no cost.
Every camper will receive an individual clean/sanitized gear package, name labeled, and to be used daily for the duration of the camp.

Level: beginner/intermediate
Days: December 16-20, Mo-Fri
Time: 10:00 AM-2:00 PM.
