Summer Camps

Don't forget to sign up soon for our Summer camps! We may attract some fencers from elsewhere if attendance looks good! We are hosting two camps this summer:

On July 11-15, we will hold our first ever HoF Youth Camp ! The youth camp is open to all fencers aged 10-12; you can follow the link above for more information or to sign up online. This camp will involve games, new skills, and a big emphasis on fun.

Then, on August 8-12, we will again hold our Advanced Epee Camp . This camp is for all competitive membership fencers age 13 and above, and is designed to provide some higher-intensity training for athletes preparing for the upcoming competitive season. All the important info can be found at the link above.

Tuesday Morning Training

Beginning Tuesday, June 7th, we will once again be holding practice sessions on Tuesday mornings throughout the summer. These are extra practices for our competitive fencers; they are meant to supplement regular practice and will focus on building fitness and stamina, as well as an opportunity for more competitive fencing. Practice will be 9:30-12:00, and you should expect to arrive on time and stay the duration if you attend. The cost of these summer practices is $100. Let us know if you have any questions. Summer training begins June 7th!

Summer Cookout

Our annual summer cookout will be held on Monday, July 18th. This is a great chance for our entire fencing family to get together. More details to come... for now, put it on your calendars!

Have a good week,
