CFA is excited to announce week-long summer camp sessions will be held again in 2010. Some weeks will be geared towards beginners, others towards intermediate or advanced fencers. However, all are welcome regardless of experience level. We will have several members of the coaching staff available to provide appropriate instruction to everyone.

June 21-25 - Advanced / Summer National Prep
June 28 - July 2 - Beginners
July 12-16 - Intermediate
July 19-23 - Beginners
August 2-6 - Intermediate

Classes will run daily (M-F) from 10am -4pm. Early drop-off and late pick-up can be arranged if needed - just let us know. As with all our classes, participants should be at least 8 years old.

Highlights of our Summer Camp:

• Basics of fencing footwork and safety
• Group and private lessons
• Sessions on fencing techniques and strategic thinking
• Fencing related movies
• Viewing and discussing taped fencing matches from national and international tournaments
• Fencing games to improve footwork and hand-eye coordination
• Friday mini-tournaments

All classes are held at our fencing salle, 1731 Allied St, Charlottesville, VA 22903.

Summer Camp Costs

We are currently charging $300 per person for each week-long session and $200 for any additional sessions attended by the same person. $100 of this fee should be paid as a deposit at least two weeks prior to the start of camp. This cost includes use of club-owned USFA approved fencing gear (required) during the class. Students should wear loose fitting, comfortable clothes and athletic shoes. Students should bring a packed lunch. We have a fridge and microwave available. Cold drinks and snacks are available for purchase.

If desired, a personal set of gear (beginner's kit) can be purchased through the club (this is in addition to the cost of the session). The kit consists of a mask, jacket, glove, and sword. You can, of course, also purchase the required gear from another fencing equipment vendor. However, we recommend purchase though our club to ensure you are properly fitted for the safety equipment and that it meets current USFA standards.

Family Discounts

If more than one person from a family is attending our summer camps, we offer a discounted rate of $150 per person per week for additional attendees. For example:

• Two siblings attending one week = $450 ($300 for first child, $150 for second)
• Three siblings attending one week = $600 ($300 for first child, $150 each for second and third)
• Two siblings attending two weeks = $800 ($300 for child 1/week 1, $200 for child 1/week 2, $150 each for child 2/week 1, and child 2/week 2)
• Three siblings attending two weeks = $1100 ($300 for child 1/week 1, $200 for child 1/week 2, $150 each for child 2/week 1, child 2/week 2, child 3/week 1, and child 3/week 2)

We'll figure out your exact cost with the family discount as it applies to your situation when you pay the balance due.
