Can anybody point me in he direction of some foil training camps or other "training opportunities" coming up (between March and September 2002)? I am thinking about 1 or 2 weeks and would be looking at bringing a friend or two.

Am looking for something "challenging" (National/International level) and will consider either Europe or the US.

Boo Boo, I just picked up several fliers on this very subject at a national event here in the states to post at my club. I'll get that info for you and post it in the camp section. Maybe there will be something there for you.

Private message sent to Zelda and I look forward your information, DamedEscrime.

One of our fencers spent two months training in New York last year. She had a great time (both useful to her fencing and the great US hosiptality she received), so the US is of interest (although I would only have a week o two instead of 2 months...).

Okay, Boo Boo, I put 5 camps on the Camp section. If I find anymore I will add them. Take a look and see if anything "floats yer boat."

ps. I dont know what age group you fall into, but we have a very nice camp at my club in the summer and there is also one at Culver Military Academy.

Both are excellant camps, but I don't have the dtaes yet.

Thanks very much DamedEscrime.

Unfortunately I fit into the "old" age group (well seniors, not verterans - at least not yet).

Hi.

I think there will be a fencing camp given by Sergei Golubitsky in Mexico.
In June-July, i'm not sure.
GFC homepage is <a href="http://www.gfc-world.com" target="_blank">http://www.gfc-world.com</a>
The homepage for the camp that will be held in mexico is <a href="http://esgrima.netfirms.com" target="_blank">http://esgrima.netfirms.com</a> but it's not finished yet...

Hope this Helps.

Well, Boo Boo. I took camp at our club last summer. I was the oldest one there.. Im a vet.
I kept up, but barely. If I hear of any others I'll let you know. I thought I found one for olders in New England once..Concord, Massachusetts I think. Maybe it will turn up again.
