The Olympic sport and ancient art of fencing helps develop the character of kids in a unique way.
Our goal is to help bring out the champion from within each individual.

2009 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 10th 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 youth to elite Division I. This year's participants include 2008 National Foil Champions in every age group from Div I to Y10, and USA National Team members. Typically most of the top ranked Cadet, Jr., and Div I Men's foil fencers on the West Coast participate in our camps. Please register early, all of our camps have been full the past 4 summers, because we limit enrolment to keep a high level of supervision. Home stay is available for out of town fencers on a limited and first come basis.
