Welcome to your child’s new favourite sport!

What are you looking for in a camp for your child this school holiday? Something super fun, unique, exciting, challenging (both physically and mentally), but in a welcoming environment where they can meet other kids and make friends?

Welcome to the NSW Fencing Centre School Holiday Camp! You may think that letting kids loose with swords sounds like a terrible idea, but we do this every day and our coaching team is the best in Australia. Safety is paramount, and we supply the right protective gear to make sure they stay safe.

In fact, fencing is the 5th safest Olympic sport!

Back to the fun…We warm the kids up with some fun games, and start by teaching them the basic skills they will need to fence- how to move, lunge, parry.

We then suit them up in protective gear and mask and send them on to the piste to try the sport for real on our electric pistes! Is there a child in the world that hasn’t picked up a stick and swung it around like a sword?

Now they can do it for real, in safety, on our School Holiday Camp.

We have 1, 2 and 3 day options and we are located just 200 metres from Skyzone in Alexandria. Fencing – come and join the fun.
