Fencers and PFC Families:
As the summer weather and the end of the school year are approaching, we have been looking at our camps and classes schedule: Following the State and City guidelines, we decided to cancel our June and July summer camps. We remain committed to providing lesson plans via emails and virtual training via zoom during those two months.
In addition, aligned with CDC restrictions and recommendations, we may offer a small group indoor and outdoor classes – please check weekly newsletter emails for information. Unfortunately we don’t have more detailed information at the moment, but we are working on plans and will be adjusting as the situation in Allegheny county moves forward.
We appreciate your support and looking forward to seeing you on-line or in person soon.
Stay safe and active!
