If/when an injured athlete withdraws from camp, the spot will be offered to the next person on the waitlist.
How Do The Training Groups Work?
Groupings will be done depending on age and ability.
Throughout the camp week, there will be plenty of opportunities for all students to fence each other, and the 3rd practice on several evenings will be open bouting, where students can fence against everyone from all the groups.
