AFM Beginner Fencing Summer Camps are designed for youth 7-13 years old.
Our summer camps will be one of the highlights of your child's summer school break. They will learn fencing, play fun and engaging developmental sports games, make friends, and will have incredible fun. They will come home tired and hungry from the daily activity, and all they will talk about on their way home and in the evening is who they scored touches against, how they tricked their opponents, and how many wins they had. They would hardly wait till the next morning to return to their summer fencing camp. That’s our experience and that’s our promise.
Beginning fencers will acquire basic fencing skills, including footwork, blade work, and distance control, they will fence with electrical equipment and understand fencing etiquette, rules, and sportsmanship. Of course, not everyone will choose fencing as their lifelong sport after the camp, but everyone can claim that they know what fencing is and why it is a super cool sport.
We are really honored to build a tremendous coaching team of world-class and internationally recognized coaches. It’s wonderful to see fencers learning and growing under the tutelage of these experienced and supportive coaches. AFM coaches have all kinds of medals under their belt, they trained national teams, helped fencers to qualify to the Olympics and they are true fencing masters. They are an inspiration for all of their students. Part of the huge success of our training programs is our coaches' great experience in tailoring training to specific levels of skills and needs.
Both Campbell and Sunnyvale facilities provide a convenient and safe environment for children and for parents to bring them in. In particular, we provide each participant with individually labeled, clean, and sanitized gear, which isn’t shared between fencers. Both locations are airconditioned.
USFA Requirement - Non-Competitive Membership: Prior to the camp every camper must register for USA Fencing Association non-competitive membership (cost $29) and bring proof of registration on the first day of camp. Instructions to register for USFA, will be included in the class registration confirmation email.
From day one, the knowledgeable and dedicated coaching staff at AFM has provided exceptional instruction in the art of fencing. They truly understand how to cater to children's unique needs and learning styles, making each class engaging and enjoyable. My daughter has gained a deep appreciation for the sport while also improving her physical fitness, coordination, and mental focus.
The academy offers a wide range of programs for children of all ages and skill levels. My daughter has participated in their fencing camps, which not only taught her valuable fencing skills but also allowed her to forge new friendships with fellow young fencers. The positive and supportive atmosphere fostered by the coaches and staff at AFM has encouraged her to continue pursuing her passion for the sport.
The facilities at both the Campbell and Sunnyvale locations are clean, spacious, and well-equipped. The academy takes safety very seriously, ensuring that all students learn and practice in a secure environment.
I am extremely grateful to the Academy of Fencing Masters for providing my daughter with such a fantastic experience. Their commitment to nurturing young talent and fostering a love for the sport of fencing is truly unparalleled. I wholeheartedly endorse AFM as one of the Best Kids Programs in Sports for 2022-2023. If you're considering enrolling your child in a fencing program, look no further than the Academy of Fencing Masters.
