SHORT HISTORY OF CAMP :
- The summer of 2012 will be our 7th Annual camp at Springbrook State Park. 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 4 th 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. Every year these camps grow and kids love them. We have had wrestlers from Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin attend!

CAMP AGENDA :
- Takedown Training Camp: This camp focuses on takedowns and scoring from bad positions. Whether we want to be there or not the truth is we end up there and need to learn to score from there. 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.
- Father/Son : Fathers will get to wrestle along with their sons and learn this great sport. Any activity your son does you will do!!
- 5 Day Intensive : This camp is like no other intensive camp out there. Most intensive camps beat you up but don’t 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?
- 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!
- 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?
CAMP ACTIVITIES :
- The DNR will be leading us in: canoeing/kayaking, archery, gun safety/shooting, team building, hiking, and other activities. There will also be time set aside for swimming at the lake, wiffle ball, fishing, going in town for ice cream, and bowling. *All camps do the same activities!
