Camp information
Denver Fencing Center is offering camps throughout Fall, Winter, and Summer 2026. 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 remaining tuition is charged one week before your camp. Potential campers are invited to tour our facility at any time during our normal business hours.
