2010 San Francisco Summer Fencing Camps

Massialas Foundation Fencing Camps are geared to Youth, Cadet, Jr. & Div I foil fencers. All fencers are challenged to do their best, and are treated equally. This is our 11th year of offering fencing camps, and many nationally ranked and International fencers have benefited from these camps. The intensity of fencing is always at a very high level for each age group from Y10 to elite, Division I. This year's participants include several National Champions in all age groups, USA National Team members, including fencers who have earned several World Championship medals. Typically most of the top ranked Cadet, Jr., and Div I Men’s foil fencers on the West Coast participate in our camps. We limit enrolment to keep a high level of fencing, and supervision. Please register early, as all of our camps have been full in the past 5 years. Home stay is available for out of town fencers on a limited, and first come basis.
