Sounds great to me. ^^

What's not so great is that I cannot find one of the most important "details" -- the price -- stated anywhere, even on the website. How much is this camp, please?

[TheFrenchFencingFactory]

The cost of the training camp is £340.

You can email me direct if you need any further information.

That's exactly what's unusual. We have a plethora of options for the junior (and below) set, and a dearth of offerings for adults. It's good to see someone targeting an older demographic.

Hi there,
this is why we decided to offer the camps! I wanted to go on one, but I could only find one for kids (not so many in UK but seemed to be plenty in the US), but rather a short-fall for adults.... or in UK there were only trips from clubs offering to their own club members !

These camps are great fun.

With lots of top quality fencing coaching & instruction in a fabulous setting.

If you are interested, or know any Epee fencer who might be, why not take a look at our website which has more details of the camps we've already held?

If you have any questions, you can call, but if you're from outside the UK it might be easier to email.

Thanks,

Claire
