youth events, camp dates

First, is it possible to hold the last 12 and under youth event of the season on May 18th (a little over a week away)?  Not many people have gotten to me about either date.  That would mean we would hold a middle school team event on the 8th of June.  The middle school league is grades 4-8.  How does that work for possible middle school teams?

I think I have a reasonable solution for the camp date problem.  If I leave the beginner camp date at July 8-12, I could then do two weeks of advanced foil, one July 15-19, and one July 22-26.  That covers both of the weeks I had mentioned, so no one would need to change plans.  Similarly, no one has expressed an interest in the sabre camp, and it didn’t happen last year.  Therefore, if we turn the sabre camp into a second week of advanced epee, it gives that both weeks I had previously mentioned and no one should need to alter any plans.  Thus advanced epee camps on July 29- August 2, and August 5-9.  Both sets of the advanced camps would be based on the same schedule, so they should be almost identical.  That also gives us a couple of advantages.  The advanced camps should be a smaller so I will have more time to work with individuals.  It makes our armorers happy because we don’t have to have so many electrical weapons for one huge week of either camp,

If that helps you make a decision as to which week, please let me know, what camp you will be attending.  PLEASE let me know your T-shirt size as I will be putting an order together in early June.

Let me know if you have other questions.
