FAQs
Experience in fencing and working with kids are the two most important and relevant things to put on your fencing application. If you're not currently in a fencing club, it might be worth brushing up on your skills by finding classes to take or joining a club before the summer arrives.
Qualifications aren't the big draw here - experience and passion are. If you think you'd make a great fencing coach, you should still apply. After all, you'll be working with beginners - and you'll get a full week of training before they even arrive at camp.
You'll be the activity leader, which means you get to design the sessions, but each group of campers will have their own counselor who will go through the day with them. This is part of the fun - you'll get to know everyone at camp as they rotate through your activity.
