Camp FAQ
Everything you need to know before enrolling.
Not at all! Many of our campers are trying fencing for the first time. Camps are grouped by skill level, so beginners get proper instruction while experienced fencers continue to develop. Our student-to-coach ratio ensures every child gets personalized attention.
We provide all fencing equipment — mask, jacket, glove, chest protector, body cords, and weapon. Your child just needs athletic clothing, long pants, sneakers, and a water bottle. No shorts or sandals.
Full-day camp runs 10:00 AM–5:00 PM. Half-day camp runs 10:00 AM–1:00 PM. Schedules may vary slightly by location and week.
Campers should pack their own lunch and snacks. Please bring a water bottle. We recommend packing nut-free foods to help keep camp safe for all students.
Camp weeks are non-refundable, but students may switch to a different available week within the same summer season when space allows. Any unused camp days or weeks expire at the end of the summer season.
Yes. Our coaching staff provides differentiated instruction and groupings for competitive fencers. Camp includes higher-level drills, tactical sessions, and supervised bouting with experienced fencers.
Every Friday features a camp tournament and medal ceremony. Campers compete in a fun, structured format and families are invited to celebrate their child’s progress.
