  • To better support families, we are happy to introduce monthly installment payment plans for all Driftless camps this summer. This option allows families to secure a spot without needing to pay the full cost upfront.

    How it works:

        •    Payment plans will be available at registration

        •    Monthly installments can be set up automatically

        •    Balance must be fully paid no later than one month before your wrestler’s camp date

    We hope this makes the Driftless experience more accessible, especially for families sending siblings or multiple wrestlers. This is something many parents asked for, and we’re excited to offer a more affordable and flexible pathway to camp this year.

  • This year we will not be hosting a girls-exclusive camp. However, we will be offering up to 10 reserved spots for girl wrestlers in each campthroughout the summer.

    Girls registered will have:

        •    Separate lodging from the boys

        •    A female chaperone staying with them in their assigned room

        •    At least one female counselor/coach assigned to them for the full duration of the camp

    Our goal is to ensure that female athletes maintain a safe, comfortable, and fully supported experience while still gaining exposure to the collective training environment.

    We’re excited to continue growing this group and providing high-level development opportunities for our girl wrestlers this summer.

  • We go by the grade the wrestler will be entering in the fall after summer camps.

    That said, we’re flexible for wrestlers who are on the cusp (a year early or late), depending on factors like size, experience, maturity, and whether siblings or a group are attending a certain camp.
