For kids with no experience there are 2 ways to start fencing: junior introductory fencing or summer camps.
Summer camp is the time of year with the most opportunity. Fencing camp experience is the best way to become eligible for our ongoing fencing classes in the fall.

More information
Although fencing is primarily an individual sport, kids develop a strong sense of teamwork during practice. Fencing is a co-ed sport where girls and boys have equal opportunity to excel, and children regularly defeat equally ranked adults.
Kids with no experience can learn to fence during the school year in junior introductory fencing, although spaces are limited. We offer these courses September to June as we are able to. There are many more opportunities for kids with no experience to learn to fence during summer camp.
