[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Around $15k a year for two kids in fencing which covers classes and private lessons. Doesn’t include $ for fees/travel/lodging for tournaments or summer camp. Kids enjoy it and are pretty good at it, so I feel it’s worth it.[/quote] My son used to fence and with once a week private lesson and once a week group lessons, it ran nearly $3K per year. Add in equipment and tournaments and camps (all within driving distance but an occasional hotel stay) and it was up to $4K per year. I'm a single parent and a nurse so I was kind of relieved when he wanted to stop. It is a great sport but full of people with so much money. It was hard to keep up. A few of his friends were traveling up to NYC every weekend to fence with coaches up there. [/quote]
