  • "The staff at Driftless Ranch went above and beyond to ensure the athletes were learning, safe, and having fun. My daughter had a blast, walked away with great new skills, and made some new friends. The gorgeous property is just the icing on the cake. Huge thanks to the fantastic team for putting together such a meaningful and well-run camp!"

  • "My son had an incredible experience at Driftless Ranch Wrestling Camp! We signed up not fully knowing what to expect, but it turned out to be so much more than just a wrestling camp. From swimming and s'mores to the trail ride and an arcade, there was something for everyone. Coach Maolu and his team go above and beyond to make every camper feel welcome."

    JEFF G.

  • "I can’t say enough good things about this camp! My son Brackston was a bit hesitant to go and loved it so much that he can’t wait to return next year! The camp helped him build confidence in himself and learn and tweak skills!"

    JESSICA H.

  • "I'm not sure where to begin, this camp was incredible all around. Our moto for wrestling this summer is work hard-play hard, and that's exactly what this camp is. Driftless is a unique camp that offers the best of both worlds. From top notch coaches to a top notch set up for the campers. The kids get in an ample amount of skills, drills, and wrestling followed up with endless amounts of fun activities. I can't say enough great things about this camp. There is no doubt, we will be back. Thanks for everything Maolu, coaches, and Driftless Ranch!"

    LUCAS Z.

  • "I would 100% recommend Driftless Ranch Wrestling Camp! Our son had an incredible experience there. The coaching staff, led by Camp Director Maolu Woiwor, along with Seth Gross and many other top-level leaders, created an environment that challenged and inspired the athletes. The coaches and the campers supported each other when needed. The camp focused on more than just wrestling! It emphasized hard work, discipline, teamwork, and having fun. Our son came home motivated, with new skills, and with great memories made alongside both new and old friends. He’s already counting down the days until next year. Highly recommend this camp to any wrestler looking to grow on and off the mat!"

    TWYLA J.

  • "I 100% recommend this camp to anyone serious about wrestling. Logan had an amazing time and is 100% in for next year. This was a great moment of independence and responsibility for him and I think this camp is much more than just wrestling for all of these young wrestlers. I don’t think the experience they provide can be duplicated anywhere else."

    KYLE C.

  • "Our 10yo absolutely loved this experience and enjoyed every minute of camp! Even with the amazing indoor pool, and indoor arcade and indoor movie theater and all the fun things they did I asked him what his favorite part of camp was and he said “all the wrestling”. A camp that creates an environment of how much fun wrestling is even in the midst of the hard is a must attend! Our desire isn’t to create a state champion (thought that would be cool), but to grow a kid who loves and enjoys the sport, and this will be a place he will definitely come back to to do just that!"

    LISA L.

  • "My son, Blue, had an awesome time at his first-ever overnight camp, he went without knowing anyone who was going, so was a little nervous about that, he met some great kids and made great friendships. First thing he said when I picked him up was l'm going back next year. Great job with the camp and keep up the great work."

  • 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.
