AFM FENCING CAMPS
We believe in training that combines workouts and exercises with the incredible joy of learning and fun of the game. Our fencing camps and classes engage and motivate young people so that time flies and keeps them going on. Beginners will be amazed at how much they learned and improved their conditioning and fencing skills.
Now more than ever, after a long period of inactivity and uncertainty our kids endured, our summer camps will be one of the highlights of your child’s summer.
As the health of our families is our utmost priority, our safety protocols are very strict. We determined that we could do it in a way that would not compromise the health of our fencers, their families, or our staff. After all, you entrust us with the most precious thing in your life – your children! We take this responsibility with the same seriousness that we would want someone to take with our own kids. In particular, each participant is assigned with an individual, clean, sanitized, and labeled fencing gear, and no gear is shared.
Your child will learn to fence, play fun and engaging developmental sports games, make friends, and will have incredible fun. They will come home tired and hungry from the daily activity, and all they will talk about on their way home and in the evening is who they scored touches against, how they tricked their opponents, and how many wins they had. They would hardly wait till the next morning to return to their summer fencing camp. That’s our experience and that’s our promise.
Beginning fencers will acquire basic fencing skills, including footwork, blade work, and distance control, they will fence with electrical equipment and understand fencing etiquette, rules, and sportsmanship. Of course, not everyone will choose fencing as their live-long sport after the camp, but everyone can claim that they know what fencing is and why it is a super cool sport.
We run fencing summer camps in our two San Francisco Bay Area locations: in Campbell, CA and in Sunnyvale, CA. Our facility in Sunnyvale is one of the biggest fencing clubs in the United States.
In addition to beginner fencing summer camps and beginner fencing winter camps, we also conduct camps and clinics for experienced fencers, from intermediate to highly competitive. Every such fencing camp is designed to meet the specific needs and requirements of the camp attendees.
