SHORT HISTORY OF CAMP :
This is our 13th year of running summer camps and our 2nd at the Wesley Woods Camp & Retreat Center in Indianola, IA. The camp has come a long way from when it first started in 2006 with 15 wrestlers. The second year (2007) we had over 70 wrestlers attend resulting in three full camps. A Father/Son, 5 Day Intensive Camp and 4th Technique Camp were added in 2008 to support the growing numbers and interest. In 2009, I added a Youth Intensive Camp for youth wrestlers wanting to move to the next level and it had been a huge success. The youth intensive camp has carried a waiting list every single year since it started! In 2011, I adjusted our camps and turned the technique camp into a Takedown camp and also added a Top/Bottom camp. In 2017 a CHAMP Camp was added! We have had wrestlers from 17 states attend: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

CAMP AGENDA :
5 Day Intensive : This camp is like no other intensive camp out there. Most intensive camps beat you up but dont TEACH you how to actually train for the sport of wrestling. When you leave this camp you will have an understanding of HOW to train to be the BEST! There are 4 workouts a day: morning run/exercises, technique, hard drilling and live. You will also go through Wacky Wednesday ! Will you survive?
Father/Son : Fathers will get to wrestle along with their sons and learn this great sport. Any activity your son does you will do!!
Takedown Training Camp: This camp focuses on takedowns, short offense/defense, bad positions, scrambling and other things. Athletes will go through three very structured practices per day (including drilling, hard drilling and LIVE!) and get a feel for each move taught. Your son will get hands on attention and learn the moves taught.
Top/Bottom Training Camp : This camp will focus on learning how to turn/pin people and being able to escape from anyone. There will be three very structured practices a day including drilling, hard drilling and LIVE! When you leave camp you will be able to turn and escape from anyone!
CHAMP Camp: Wrestlers will be taught a proven system that will help them reach their goal of being a CHAMP (state champ, national champ, etc). Wrestlers will hit tons of reps at this camp and also put into live situations from the moves they learned! We will also correct mistakes that we see in live wrestling! This will be a fast pace camp so experience is very important! I guarantee when your child leaves this camp he will have improved a TON!
Youth Intensive Camp: This camp is designed for the youth wrestler who wants to move to the next level. There will be four workouts a day: a morning run/exercise, technique, hard drilling and live! The youth camp will also go through Wacky Wednesday ! Will you survive?
