En Garde Fencing Camps
En Garde Fencing offers numerous camps during the year, both through the club and through local community centers. Our camps are an excellent and affordable introduction to the exciting sport of fencing. At camp, students learn the rules of the sport, the amazing history of fencing, and play games that help develop skills learned during footwork and drills.
It's time to sign up for summer camps!
Camps are designed with the beginning fencer in mind, so no prior experience is necessary to fully enjoy them. Fencers 7-12 years old are welcome to attend. All needed equipment is provided for free.
Fencing teaches kids the art of the sword while they develop coordination, balance, grace and athletic ability. With fencing, even as they play games and exercise, kids grow in confidence, determination and discipline. Make this a summer they'll never forget with an En Garde Fencing Camp!
