And that’s a wrap!!! For summer camps at least!!! 4 OFF camps in the books and we couldn’t be happier!!!

So many kids got the opportunity to either learn fencing or expand their skill set!! We had fantastic guest coaches and athletes visit the Okanagan on one of our least Smokey summers in a long time.

We took countless dips in the lake and made a tonne of memories!!!

Next week is the last week of the Summer semester then we will take a break for the first week of September then our fall semester will start up again.

See you all soon!!!

Coach Matt

Helping found the UBC-O fencing club to finishing her degree, Liz has been essential in helping establish the love of the sport at the club!

Congratulations Coach Liz! We love having you at the club!
