fencing camps

“Camp is over! It’s been a great month with kids from all over the world, from small beginners to pro-level athletes who fence on the national teams of their countries, so you can find both sparring and a good friend for anyone. Daily training outdoors and indoors, personal lessons with different coaches, video reviews, food for every taste, a variety of activities such as rafting and hiking, and incredible nature among the mountains – that’s what a NYFA Sleep away camp is. We were glad to see everyone here and invite you to join us next year, there will be even more different, cool people and experiences!” – Coach Misha Mokretsov

This was our biggest camp so far with almost 300 athletes over 3 sessions including 14 National Team Members, 5 World Championships medalists, and about 100 A-rated fencers! They came from across the US, Ukraine, Canada, UAE, Great Britain, China, Italy, France, Switzerland, Taiwan, Israel, and Mexico. 

“Just take a look at these hard working and amazing athletes who took part in three different sessions, this year we gathered almost 300 fencers and 15 coaches. We are looking for next year to make this camp even bigger and better! 💪🤺” – Camp Team NYFA
