Seven days of high-level foil training in the heart of Transylvania, led by certified coaches from the United States and Romania. Two sessions a day, full board, and a community that keeps coming back.
Limited spots — places are confirmed in the order registrations are received.
The International Foil Fencing Camp brings together competitive fencers from across Europe and the United States for seven days of focused work on the piste — and a great deal more off it.
Athletes push their limits every day, share the strip with fencers from different countries, and leave stronger both technically and personally. It is about building confidence, creating memories that last, and growing together as one fencing community.
The camp is tailored for competitive fencers in the 2008–2016 age group, from aspiring champions to elite athletes. Spots are deliberately limited so every fencer gets personal attention and quality training time.
Everything on site exists so that athletes can train hard, recover well, and stay safe for the whole week.
Foil specialists from the USA and Romania, supported by a dedicated conditioning coach who focuses on athletic performance and injury prevention.
Two daily training sessions built on focused drills, tactical strategy, footwork and bouting, plus specialised conditioning.
Trained medical staff are available on site for any emergency, and supervision runs around the clock.
Certified foil coaches from the United States and Romania, working with the athletes every single session.
The coaching staff is joined by a dedicated conditioning coach, an armorer and medical personnel for the full week.
The week is built around two training sessions a day, with conditioning and recovery woven in between. Exact timings are confirmed on arrival and adapted to the groups.
The camp is hosted at the “Dr. Iuliu Hațieganu” Sports Park of Babeș-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca.
Babeș-Bolyai University offers an interactive virtual tour of the sports park, including the Gheorghe Roman hall.
One fee covers the whole week. Spaces are limited — registering early secures both the spot and the better rate.
Personal equipment is not included. Each athlete must bring their own personal equipment, and FIE standard is mandatory. An equipment vendor and armory support are available on site during the camp.
High-level training, unforgettable experiences, new friendships and countless moments of learning.
