A unique 10-day Intensive Training Camp will be held June 18th-27th for ages 13-18. This camp is designed for those wrestlers wishing to gain a competitive advantage on their competition. Young wrestlers will be placed in an environment where they will be tested both physically and mentally.

Sessions include instruction on wrestling technique in the three major styles of amatuer wrestling: freestyle, collegiate, and greco roman.

The University of Wyoming is also in its fifth exciting year with the Wrestling in the Rockies Team Camps!! This year we are offering two exciting weeks of team camps, June 11th-15th and June 29th-July 3rd. Our team camps have had great success and provide a unique combination of competition, instruction, and team building. Year after year teams continue to choose this camp over all others.
