For 30 straight days, wrestlers will learn and train with some of most successful coaches and athletes in the country.  Campers will get a mix of sessions with the Young Guns coaching staff and guest coaches and counselors from all over the nation including past Young Guns wrestlers who are now collegiate and post-collegiate athletes. 

This camp will include our 5 day Takedown, 5 day Defense and Scrambling Camp, 5 day Elite Camp and 5 day World Class Camp in addition to our 30 Day Challenge Camp schedule. Wrestlers will be exposed to not only great clinicians but new partners each week and this will all take place right in the heart of Pennsylvania wrestling.

This is an intensive camp including multiple sessions of technique and live wrestling everyday. Wrestlers will experience conditioning, self-reflection and video reviews. The goal of Young Guns has always been to not only build a better athlete but to build a better person!
