DESCRIPTION

This is a premium camp geared for experienced/serious high school and middle school wrestlers, plus advanced elementary wrestlers (4th grade and up). It is "open to any and all entrants."

The camp consists of two technique sessions per day, plus an optional "College-Style Practice" (CSP) later in the afternoon. The CSP is an intense 90 minute practice under the direction of college coaches and wrestlers.

2021 CLINICIANS AND COUNSELORS

This camp features the best wrestlers in the country and world at an incredible price. We also have outstanding D1 college wrestlers as counselors who work with and get to know the campers well throughout the week.

BO NICKAL. 3x NCAA Champion and Hodge Trophy winner Bo Nickal is one of the most exciting and popular wrestlers in the country. At Penn State, he amassed a 120-3 record and is second on the school's all-time pins list. His thrilling pin in the 2018 NCAA finals secured Penn State's national championship and goes down in history as one of the greatest moments in PSU wrestling. He currently competes for the Nittany Lion Wrestling Club and is a member of Team USA. He is a U23 World Champion and has expressed plans to pursue MMA when done wrestling.

SETH GROSS. 2019 NCAA Champion Seth Gross kicks off this camp with a bang. After beating the best wrestlers in the country in 2019, his quest for a second NCAA title was ruined due to the cancellation of the event due to COVID. He is also a NCAA finalist and currently one of the top-ranked freestyle wrestlers in the nation. Seth is known for his aggressive, point-scoring style, resulting in his "Fun to Watch" reputation. He is currently an assistance coach at the University of Wisconsin.

MIKE DEPALMA. 2016 NCAA All-American Mike DePalma was a 3x NCAA qualifier for Kent State with 97 collegiate victories. After graduating, he trained at the Ohio State Regional Training Center before coaching at Edinboro and then George Mason.

Camp Counselors:

MICHAEL KEMMERER. Michael was a key leader of the 2021 National Champion Iowa Hawkeye team. He is a 4x All-American and 2021 NCAA finalist. Michael is returning to the Hawks next season for his final year of eligibility.
