Summer is a great time to explore new activities and expand your horizons. Our full and half day beginning camps are designed for kids ages 6-17 who are either new to fencing, or who have prior fencing experience in a summer camp or after school program. All camps include the fencing basics and lots of sparring opportunity, taught in a positive, safe environment. Full day options also include other activities to improve coordination, concentration, and critical thinking skills. The main ingredient in all of our camps is FUN! All camps meet at our facility; 1134 Longstaff Street, in Missoula. To register and pay online using the buttons at the bottom of this page.

This 4 day camp is for fencers of all levels with a minimum of 3 months of prior fencing experience. Children age 9 and above, and adults, are welcome. We will be teaching both foil and epee in half day sessions (see schedule below) and fencers are welcome and encouraged to sign up for both weapons.
Fencers are encouraged to bring their own equipment. For those who do not yet own gear, club equipment will be available for a $20 rental fee for the session (free for current club members).
Camp will include fitness training, games, skills and drills, tactics/strategy, competitive bouting, and more. There is nothing like a week of solid fencing to improve your game!
Fencers participating in the camp are also invited to attend MFA club practices in the evening as part of the program. These practices are included in camp fees.
