This is an opportunity for those who identify as female or non-binary to train and learn together. Fencing is a sport that is conducive to both mixed-gender and gender-separate training, and fencers will benefit from either training environment. Girls are also welcome to sign up for any other week of camp.

Monday - Friday, 1:00 - 4:00
Cost: $335 half day

Qualified experience and your own fencing gear are required.

SAS students: Those eligible receive an invite via email.
Generally those attending a 2x/week (or more) program are qualified, but there are age variations among the weapon groups. If you are not sure please ask!

Non SAS students: Approval required
For approval you must contact us before registering.

The Foil, Epee and Saber camps are taught separately. Students will only fence the weapon they have been focusing on.

We teach all 3 types of Olympic fencing: epee, foil, saber. Each week of camp focuses on one type of fencing.  There is no ‘best’ type to start with and skills learned for one translate to the other two. We strongly encourage students to take more than one week of camp and try more than one type of fencing, especially if they are interested in pursuing our ongoing fencing classes after camp.

Students learn footwork, bladework, and fencing tactics in a fun and safe environment. In addition to drills and bouting they will participate in a variety of fencing activities and games to re-enforce the actions and strategies of fencing and to increase co-ordination and balance. This is an active camp, but fencing is not solely a physical sport and many kids enjoy the mental challenge it also has to offer.

Camp Costs

The total cost for half day camp is $335 paid in 2 payments: a $85 non-refundable deposit and a $250 balance.
