Summer Camps 2024

Join Roaring Fork Fencers Club for camps in Snowmass Village and Glenwood Springs this summer! We offer both competitive camps for experienced fencers as well as beginner camps for fencers-to-be.

Beginner Camps

Beginner camps are where you start your fencing journey! Learn the basics of footwork, bladework, tactics, rules, and more. After completing our beginner camp, you will be ready to join our competitive program in the Roaring Fork Valley or return home and find a fencing club near you.

No prior experience is required. Campers should bring snacks, water, and a light lunch. Athletic clothing and shoes are required. All other equipment is loaned out for the week. Please bring a bag to carry equipment to and from camp.

Beginner camp 2024 dates:

  1. Glenwood Springs Community Art Center: June 3-7, $385

  2. Snowmass Village Recreation Center: June 17-21, $415

  3. Snowmass Village Recreation Center: July 29-August 2, $415

Camps are open to ages 7-14 (age 7 at start of camp through graduating 8th graders).

All camps run Monday-Friday from 9am-1pm. Join us for an in-camp tournament on the last day of camp to see your students in action!

Some financial assistance is available as needed. Please contact us to arrange.

We do not offer before- or after-care. Please drop-off and pick-up your camper no more than 15 minutes prior to or after camp.
