Built to Fence: Girls Fencing Program (New Fencers)

Calling all girls ages 6-13 who want to learn how to fence! Girls Forward Foundation and Epic Fencing Club are happy to announce that the Built to Fence program is back and ready for you to join us!

During this 6-session program, Built to Fence participants will learn foundational fencing skills alongside Epic Fencing coaches and within their co-ed program.
