Fencing Camp Intro Into Olympic Sport

No previous training needed. Known as the "physical game of chess," Olympic sport fencing provides a tremendous physical and mental workout for students of all ages and athletic abilities. As one of the safest sports, fencing makes fitness fun! It builds muscle strength, provides greater cardiovascular workouts, improves endurance, coordination, and speed. The instructor teaches the fundamentals: footwork, handwork and strategy using safety-tipped swords, protective jackets, masks and gloves. A registration form must be completed and signed by a parent/guardian on the first day of camp. A $49 equipment rental fee is included in the camp registration fee.
