Camp Information

Wrestling- it has to be in your mind and in your heart. I have devoted my career to this sport because it joins incredible physical challenge with mental focus and personal spirit to create champions. I believe in this winning combination. Join me as we get our Minds in Motion at the 2008 University of Maryland Wrestling Camp. -- Pat Santoro

• Technique Camp

• High School Team Camp
  July 5-8
  Ages 14-18
  Gives teams the ability to come together and train in a competitive atmosphere during the summer. Camp will include technique at the beginning of each session followed by dual meets (approximately 4-5 a day) from high school teams all over the country. Each team is paired up with a University of Maryland camp counselor to help coach and analyze technique and mat strategy. We strongly encourage you to bring a full team but if you only have a few select individuals who are interested in attending team camp we can easily accommodate.
