Fencing Holiday Camps in Singapore
Give your kids a school break they will actually look forward to. Our fencing holiday camps are arranged for children and teens during school holidays, mixing real sport skills with active, screen-free fun. No fencing experience is needed for our beginner camps, and we provide the equipment there. Camps for current fencers are different: campers bring their own kit.
What Our Fencing Holiday Camps Are
Our fencing holiday camps are structured, coach-led programmes designed to introduce kids and teens to the sport of fencing during the school holidays. Campers spend their time moving, thinking and learning a genuine Olympic combat sport in a safe, supervised environment at our Ubi Avenue club.
Camps are run by our NROC-registered coaches and are suitable for complete beginners as well as kids already training with us who want extra practice time over the break. Camp arrangements vary. Please enquire with our team.
What Campers Gain
- An introduction to fencing across all three weapons: foil, sabre and epee, so campers discover which style suits them best (read more about the 3 weapons)
- Improved focus, discipline and quick decision-making, skills fencing is well known for building
- Better coordination, footwork and reflexes through active, varied drills
- New friendships with other kids who enjoy sport and a bit of friendly competition
- A confidence boost from learning something new in a supportive, encouraging setting
Who Our Holiday Camps Are For
Our camps welcome children and teens with any level of experience, from first-timers who have never held a blade to young fencers already competing. Since 1995, founder Jeffrey Lopez and our team have coached fencers of practically every age, and our group programmes take children from age 7 upward, though we will happily consider a younger child if their aptitude is there.
At beginner camps the fencing gear is provided, so there is nothing special to buy before your child tries it out. Fencers joining a camp for current fencers bring their own kit. Parents simply need to bring a curious kid ready to move and try something different this holiday.
Why Choose Fencing for the School Holidays
Fencing is a safe, well-supervised sport that channels a school holiday's worth of restless energy into something constructive. It builds character, sportsmanship and self-control while still feeling like a game, which is why parents across Singapore choose it as a holiday programme.
Our coaches focus on making every session engaging and age-appropriate, with activities that help campers learn and enjoy fencing. Many families find our holiday camps become the gateway into ongoing lessons, and some kids later move on to our regular youth classes or, for parents wanting to fence themselves, our Fencing for Fitness programme for adults.

Who Is Looking After Your Child
Choosing a camp for your child is a decision about who is looking after them, not just what they will do. Fencing Masters has been running since 1995, with two generations coaching, so the people supervising camp are the same coaches who teach our regular classes rather than staff brought in for the holidays.
Looking after a child well is a shared job, not a solo one, and coaches, parents and the older fencers all play a part in it. That shows up directly in how camp is run: character building and pastoral care sit inside the coaching itself. Read more on how fencing builds discipline.
