Kids from as as far away as Alaska, Hawaii and California will be opening and then virtually abandoning their presents under the Christmas tree to converge on State College, PA on December 26th. Why would nearly 200 of the best young wrestlers ages 8 to 18 from dozens of states and several foreign countries give up a major portion of their holiday to train at Olympian Ken Chertow's annual Winter Break Training Camp?
A glance at the list below of guest clinicians and camp staff might provide a clue. In addition, this non-stop wrestling camp, scheduled for Dec 26 - 31, 2001 at the Ramada Inn in State College, PA has been designed to give wrestlers a distinct edge over their opponents during the upcoming season through a carefully orchestrated sequence of personalized instruction, intense drilling and live wrestling. Participants come to understand the technique, intensity and commitment required to become a champion. Special effort is made to welcome junior high and elementary kids along with high school varsity wrestlers.
