About

Fencing summer camps are the best way to introduce your child to one of the original Olympic sports.

Each week begins with the basics and building an equipment package that stays with the camper for the week, and finishes with a friendly tournament on the Friday. The programme covers games, an overall sports education, social skills and of course lots of fencing: technique, strategy, refereeing and etiquette.

Three age groups run at the same time — roughly 6 to 8, 8 to 12, and 12 and up. Each group gets its own gym section and its own dedicated coach.

Lunch runs from noon to 1pm, with a small chess club for anyone interested.
