ADVANCED FOIL CAMP
July 29th- August 4th


[font="Arial"]This camp's objective is to provide a superior fencing environment with an emphasis on competitive bouting (both team and individual) and technical and tactical skills. Athletes will be grouped by skill levels, and will receive both group and individual instruction.

There will be two camp sessions each day with optional evening bouting. In addition, camp will include a day-trip to an Oregon tourist site, two scheduled evening activities (such as paintball, lasertag or a swing dance night) and the River Run Foil tournament on August 4. There will also be an optional whitewater rafting trip on the White Salmon River on August 5.
