From lightning-fast moves at the Olympics to playing in the backyard with wooden sticks, the sport of fencing inspires dreams of swordplay. Stay light on your feet, move quickly, and use your strength and flexibility to your advantage. If your child is curious about fencing and wants to try this unique sport, you need to check out EPIC Fencing Summer Camps!

EPIC Fencing was established in 1982 by a group of dedicated fencers and they have grown into a great club with multiple locations. The main club, centrally located off of Blackfoot Trail, boasts 9000 square feet of fencing space. The club also offers classes at the University of Calgary. Their vision is to build an inclusive, respectful, and supportive fencing community. They aim to develop healthy and fulfilled individuals that can embrace challenge, curiosity, and learning, all while having a great time.

Summer camps at EPIC Fencing are offered for beginners ages 7 – 11 years. No experience is necessary and parents don’t need to worry about equipment, either. These camps are perfect for kids who want to try fencing for the first time or fencers who have tried the sport but have less than six months of fencing experience. On the first day, campers will be divided according to age and experience. The camps run for half days at the main location and will introduce kids to fencing, including games and activities that will help young fencers develop physical literacy and cooperation.

These summer camps take place over four weeks this summer, from July 17 – August 11, 2023, and run from 9 am – 12 pm each day. If you register more than one child, you’ll receive a 10% additional family member discount. Register with EPIC Fencing soon to guarantee a spot and get ready to reap the physical and mental benefits of fencing. It will be a summer experience to remember.
