Holiday Fencing Camp

Ages 8 - 14
10:00am to 3:00pm
See details below

Our Youth Holiday Fencing Camp is designed for kids 8 years to 14 years who want a challenging mix of physical and tactical training. Vaho Iagorashvili, three-time Olympian, will be running the camp each day. Vaho's teaching philosophy is based on working one-on-one with fencers to develop individual skills in a group-learning environment. And what other youth fencing camp in the Boston area is coached by an Olympic medal winner? None. And one who is great working with kids? None other than Vaho and Penta Fencing Club again!

The Holiday Fencing Camp includes:

• Warm Up
• Team building exercises
• Footwork
• Fencing drills
• Skill building games
• Bladework
• Bouting

Students are asked to bring a water bottle, lunch and snacks. Students should wear tee shirts and warm up pants or sweatpants and comfortable sneakers. Penta Fencing Club provides all of the necessary fencing equipment: weapons, masks, gloves and jackets.

CAMP FEES

The cost of the full-day camp is $250 for four days or $70 per day.

Check or credit cards accepted.
