Fencing summer camps in Texas

Summer camp is the single best way to try fencing, kids get a full week of coaching, gear provided, and usually a bout or two by Friday. Here's what to expect and which Texas academies run them.

What a fencing camp is like

• All gear provided, nothing to buy. Just athletic clothes, closed-toe shoes and a water bottle.
• Beginners welcome, most camps are built for first-timers, mixing footwork games, blade work and supervised bouting.
• Day camps, by the week, typically half- or full-day, ages ~7-15, often with an advanced track for experienced fencers.
• A low-cost way to find out if your kid loves it before committing to a season.
