Winter Break Camps

21st Annual

Winter Break Training Camps:

 

High Altitude Wrestling Club has been having Winter Break Training Camps since 2005! This winter will be our 21st year running Winter Break Training Camps.  These camps are a great way to work on fixing any errors, learning new technique, getting a jump start for the second half of the wrestling season and preparing for upcoming tournaments!  This year we have added a beginner only session Dec 22nd (Escapes/Reversals), Dec 23rd (Tilts/Turns), and Dec 26th (Takedowns) from 1:00-3:00pm!
