Camp information
(All Camps are in person camps with Covid-19 safety protocols in place)
Denver Fencing Center is offering camps all through Summer 2025. Our camps are the perfect way to introduce a beginner to the sport or take your fencing up to the next level. They also provide kids with a fun way to exercise and meet new friends over the summer. We have been doing this for over ten years and have developed a proven method for creating successful fencers through our camps.
Please register early, as our camps are very popular and tend to fill up early. Reserve your spot with a $100 non-refundable deposit. The remainder of your tuition is charged the first day of camp. Potential campers are invited to tour our facility anytime during our normal business hours.
