The Only Full-Day Fencing Camps in New York City!
Staffed by Expert Coaches with International ExPerience
Founded in 2010 by Olympian, Olympic Coach, and U.S. Fencing Hall of Fame Member Dan Kellner, BBFC is more than a fencing club—it’s a community committed to excellence. Our positive, nurturing, and competitive atmosphere helps children develop both athletically and personally, preparing them for college and beyond.
Why Brooklyn Bridge Fencing?
High Success Rate
A child starting fencing early and continuing through high school has a 29% - 30% chance of competing in NCAA Division 1 fencing, compared to a 0.05% chance in NCAA Division 1 basketball.
Pathway to Success
Children should start fencing young to develop the necessary technical skills and coordination. Early competitive experience is strongly correlated with later success in tournaments and college recruitment.
Top-Tier College Recruiting
Our program has consistently helped athletes secure spots in prestigious colleges and universities.
Scholarship Opportunities
Fencing offers the best ratio of athletes to available scholarships, with fewer athletes competing for the most financial aid.
Expert Coaching
With over 50 years of combined coaching experience and numerous national and international medals, BBFC coaches are dedicated to fostering success from the youth categories to college recruitment to the Olympic Games.
Proven Success
One of only five clubs nationwide to win Olympic and World Championship medals in Foil.
BBFC is proud to be offering 9 weeks of summer fencing camp for the 2024 season. With multiple options across both foil and sabre, our camps are one of the best ways for brand-new fencers to try out the sport as well as for our intermediate and competitive fencers to improve their skills.
Spots are limited, so be sure to register today!

Children will participate in age- and skill-appropriate group instruction, games, conditioning and coordination exercises, footwork, blade work, tactics, and bouting.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Each camp week is Monday through Friday, 9am - 5pm each day. Early drop-off and late-pickup is available for an extra fee by request.
Location: If you haven't been to the club before, we're located at 68 Jay Street, between Front Street & Water Street. The entrance to the building is next to a large UPS drop box. BBFC is on the 5th floor, #508, all the way at the end of the hall and to the right when you get off of the elevator.
Please remember to send your child with a water bottle, lunch, and snacks, and/or money to buy food. We will be escorting those campers who need to buy lunch to the deli on the ground floor of the building.
Campers should wear shorts, a t-shirt, and sneakers, as well as bring sweatpants/leggings/fencing pants. We will be doing a lot of exercise, and proper, closed-toe sneakers are required. Campers will not be allowed to fence in shorts. (We have a limited number of fencing pants to borrow in case someone forgets proper attire.)
We will provide all necessary fencing equipment if you don’t have any. If you have your own equipment, please bring it! You are welcome to store it at the club for the duration of camp.
Feel free to bring any card games, board games, or books for our lunch break.
Please let us know of any allergies/medical conditions we should be aware of. Do not bring peanuts or peanut products to the club.
