Summer Camps

Keep your youth or teen active this summer! Join us for a camp session. We have camps designed for beginners with little to no fencing experience as well as intermediate level camps for our youth families who have already been taking classes with us at AFC.

Join us for a Beginner Camp this summer!

Our camps are a great way to kickstart an athlete’s fencing career or to just have a fun active week over summer!

For young athletes (ages 7-14) new to fencing, or with very little fencing experience. Our summer camps focus on fun and learning, as games and drills build fencing basics.

Fencers learn basic footwork, bladework, and bouting tactics. Fencers also learn to referee fencing bouts, building deeper knowledge of rules and tactics while developing confidence, focus, and observation skills.

Camps for ages 7-10 will be in the morning from 9am-12pm. Camps for ages 11-14 will be in the afternoon from 1pm-4pm.
