Fencing camp in Poland.

Each day usually consisted of a morning, afternoon and evening session of two to two and half hours longs. Two were fencing and one was fitness. The latter varied and included fencing footwork, basketball, swimming pool, runs and hikes.

I had a fantastic time and learned a lot but I really started to lag on the last day.
