We offer weekly half-day camps for kids and teenagers during the summer.

Camp Levels

Our summer camps divide campers by age and level of fencing experience:

• Beginning Camps: For the beginning student; no previous fencing experience required.
• Continuing Camps: For campers who have taken a Beginning level camp and want to learn more.
• Intermediate Camps: For students who have fenced before and have had several months of fencing instruction. Instructor approval is required before signing up for these camps.

Age Ranges

Our Kids sessions are designed for smaller and younger children, ages 8-11. Junior sessions are for older students, but kids as young as 11 are welcome to sign up.

All Kids sessions meet from 9:00 AM to 12:00 noon each day. All Juniors sessions meet from 1:30 to 4:30 PM each day.

Fees and Equipment

The fee for each 5-day camp is $200. We provide all fencing-related equipment. Students should wear a T-shirt, long pants such as sweat pants or athletic warmups, and clean-soled athletic shoes with laces. A water bottle is helpful but not required. Every day we will take a snack break. Campers are encouraged bring a healthy snack. 

Enrollments must be paid in full within two weeks after registering to hold a space. You can pay online with a credit card or PayPal, you may call us with a credit card number, or send a check or credit card number by mail.
