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.
Fencing equipment is included with the full-day and half-day new-camper promotional week. For regular camp weeks, bring your own fencing gear or add equipment rental for $65 per week during registration. Rental gear includes a mask, jacket, glove, chest protector, body cords, and weapon. All campers should wear athletic clothing, long pants, and sneakers, and bring a water bottle. No shorts or sandals.
Full-day summer camps run from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at West Side, East Side and Port Chester. Morning half-day camp runs 9:00 a.m.–noon. Choose your location, weapon and week in the schedule above.
Full-day campers should pack lunch and snacks. Lunch and quiet activity run noon–12:30 p.m. Morning half-day campers leave at noon, before lunch. 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.
