Dear Fencing friends and Families!
It's hard to believe we are more than half way through our season and school year! A lot of families are planning the summer already so we hope you consider attending our Summer Camps.
We have the space and staffing to offer something for everyone. That includes total beginners up to our most competitive fencers and everyone in between.

Car service to the camps and before/after care available upon request.
June 17th-21st and June 24th-28th: End of Season/Pre-Nationals Camps.
This program is designed to finish the season with a bang and to provide a final spike in training before going to Summer Nationals in Columbus, OH. Due to the Nationals schedule, Week 1 is geared towards the older group, Week 2 is trending towards Youth 12 and Under. At least one Junior Olympics medalist guaranteed to attend among other highly ranked and motivated athletes.
This is an excellent way to close the season even if you are not going to Nationals as there will be plenty of time with fencers you may not usually see during the school year.
Staffed by Coach Ilya, Doug and Konstantin.
We highly recommend that our Core group plans summer vacations after these camps and Nationals.
Our season ends June 15th and all automatic payments will stop then. If your payment schedule still leaves you with a credit towards lessons or classes we will work with you individually. We be available after the camps. We are also scheduling additional training and equipment maintenance clinics free of charge to our Core members.
June 29th to July 7th: We are essentially closed for Nationals, but you are welcome to come for A La Carte lessons and free fencing as much as you like. Please schedule with your coach.
This is also the time to start planning your schedule for the 2024-2025 Core Program.
