Camps Will Run June 29!

Hello Members,

Exciting news, this week Governor Cuomo announced that day camps could begin running in New York State on Monday, June 29!

As a result of this new information and after reviewing responses to our club survey, we are going to be making some modifications to the previously published Summer schedule. We appreciate everyone's continued flexibility as we try to navigate this unprecedented situation. 

Some Updates with More To Come: 

#1 Current Class Schedule Extended: We will be extending our current class schedule until Sunday, June 28.

#2 New Summer Start Date: On Monday, June 29 we will begin our new Summer Schedule and we are planning to run in-person clinics and camps for foil, epee and saber in Port Chester as well as camps for just saber in Manhattan. 

The new plan will continue to include online portions but will include more in-person training. 

#3 New Summer Schedule: 

We will announce the new Summer Schedule around Monday, June 8. We are working right now with our lead coaches to plan and coordinate. 

We are all really excited to see everyone in-person and I can assure you that we will run our in-person programs following all safety guidelines as outlined by the State and CDC.
