We’re looking forward to welcoming you to train with Fencers Camps at our Summer International Sparring Camp 2026, located at RMS for Girls, Sports Centre in Rickmansworth. We are pleased to announce that we have Olympic and international fencers joining us from various National Fencing Teams.

The Fencers Camps Summer International Sparring Camp delivers an intensive 5-day program designed for advanced foil fencers. Our aim is to create a high-performance competitive environment by bringing together top international fencers — including athletes from leading European nations — to train and spar alongside GB fencers in London. We strive to inspire participants to lead by example and set the highest standards for younger generations. Guided by Fencers Camps coaches and guest coaches, every session is geared towards elevating the camp's quality. The inclusion of strength and conditioning sessions is designed to prepare athletes for the physical rigors of fencing, complemented by group cool-downs and mindfulness sessions to aid in recovery. We strive to emulate the intensity of international competitions during our training sessions, while ensuring enjoyment so that all our fencers leave with unforgettable memories.

This is a foil only camp.

Designed for fencers aged 12+ with a minimum of two years’ competitive experience, this programme offers young athletes the opportunity to train in a high-performance, international environment tailored specifically to their stage of development.

Participants will benefit from:

• Daily structured sparring

• Tactical and technical coaching sessions focused on competition skills

• Refereed poules and match play to build tactical awareness and bout management

Our youth fencers will train alongside—but in sessions appropriate to their age and experience level with—the senior camp, creating a motivating atmosphere while ensuring a safe, supportive, and development-focused environment.

This camp is ideal for young athletes looking to:

• Increase competitive confidence
