Fencing Camp/Summer Study

So.. I'm 18, and will be heading off to college in september. I have been fencing sabre for about 3 1/2 years, and I would just love to go off to a fencing camp before I start college... or go do a summer study at a more advanced fencing academy, I don't even know if those exist.

Any ideas, or any knowledge of a fencing camp for someone like me?

I was looking online and saw that Cornell had one, but it was for 12-18yearolds. That means I could go, but they didn't give any explanation on if they teach ... say in my case advanced sabre, or if they only teach beginners foil and epee, which it sams many places do.

Thanks. =)

Edit: Here's the other place I had found,
http://www.nd.edu/~dtl/fencing/camps/
they don't have the newest camps up but if you look at the old ones... what would you say?

Which part of the country do you inhabit, or, how far can you travel?

If you're in the northeast region, I would suggest the Manhattan Fencing Center's camp at the Kutsher's Sports Academy: http://www.manhattanfencing.com/camp/Name-Camp . Almost all of the National coaches are there, along with the top fencers in the country. Often, top fencers from other countries come to the camp.

Well, I'm in Minneapolis, Minnesota, although I'm, since this is basically the summer before college, willing to travel just about anywhere for the experience. I've been working a lot and it's something really important to me.

Thank you rocky I'm looking into that camp and it does look a lot more..for lack of better words, advanced then the other one I had found.
