Start your new fencing season with the best coaches and the best training at a high quality training facility
Sunday, August 11 – Sunday, August 18 2024
The Fencers Club is and has been the home of top national, international and Olympic fencers for well over 125+ years. Since the very first modern Olympiad one or more of our Fencers Club fencers has been on the U.S. Olympic teams.
Our Fencers Club coaches and staff, as well as invited coaches from top university programs, who will run our 2024 Summer Camp will ensure the same level of outstanding training and support that has become our Fencers Club trademark, and will ensure that campers no matter their age and skill level will enjoy their time on and off the fencing strip.
Our Summer Camp base of operations/accommodations will be at The Hill School in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. The school is only two hours or so from NYC, one hour from Philadelphia and three and a half hours from DC.
The beautiful boarding school‘s campus includes dormitories, a cafeteria and athletic facilities that our Fencers Club campers will have access to including track, field and a pool.
The program will include private fencing coaching lessons, group classes, video analysis, athletic conditioning, food, lodging, afternoon and evening activities and 24/7 supervision.
In addition, we will offer for those campers who choose the option of college mentoring to help guide them through college applications and help with academic planning, personal statements, essays and more.
