The five-day camps introduce kids to the exciting sport of fencing. Students will learn to fence and develop an understanding of how fencing's strategy, rules, and conduct relate to the history of swordsmanship. All equipment and protective gear is provided in the camp fees.

Beginner camps are offered: June 13-18,2005, July 18-22, 2005, and August 1-5, 2005.

All camps will focus on foil, fencing's primary training weapon, with additional instruction in epee and saber available.

Nathan Anderson, DFC Head Coach and former all-American, all Ivy-League fencer (University of Pennsylvania), will teach these camps with an emphasis on basic and intermediate attacks and parries. These camps offer a great way to learn the sport of fencing in a fun, relaxed environment.
