Vivo-Marx Foil/Epee Camp

Here’s a sneak peek at what a day at camp looks like!

We know how important it is for your teen to stay active, learn, and have fun while making lifelong memories. At Vivo/Marx Fencing Camp, every day is thoughtfully planned to give campers the perfect balance of training, downtime, and engaging experiences.

7:30AM Rise and shine! Our staff makes sure everyone is up and ready to kick off the day on the right note.

7:45AM Morning Warm Up: Campers energize their bodies with dynamic morning exercises, including movement drills and stretches to get them ready for the day’s activities.

Fueling up is key! Breakfast includes a variety of favorites like pancakes, eggs, cereal, and fresh fruit—something for every appetite.

The first training session of the day focuses on fencing fundamentals—refining tactical and technical skills with hands-on coaching and drills.

After lunch, it’s time to relax and recharge. Campers head back to their dorms to unwind, nap, or simply enjoy some quiet time.

Campers enjoy a well-balanced meal with plenty of options, including vegetarian choices, to keep them energized for the afternoon

Another delicious meal is served—because by now, they’ve definitely earned it!

The second session is all about applying what they learned earlier in the day. Campers work on sparring, strategy, and refining techniques in a supervised and encouraging environment.

9:30PM Chill and Socialize
10:00PM Lights Out/Recharge for the next Day

Before lights out, campers get time to relax, connect with their peers, and share laughs—this is where those lifelong friendships start.

The evening brings a mix of fun and variety! Campers participate in everything from video analysis sessions (great for refining skills) and armory workshops (learning how to care for their equipment) to team-building games, developmental exercises, or a relaxed movie night.
