The Blaine Wrestling Camp is an awesome commuter camp designed for wrestlers entering 1st through 12th grades. Our camp is intended to provide athletes with quality instruction in all phases of wrestling, at an affordable price. Last year's 7th Annual Blaine Wrestling Camp, held July 16-20, attracted 110 wrestlers from Washington, Oregon and California, while we hosted 113 aspiring champions in 2000. High numbers of campers come for several reasons:

1. World Class Technique

2. Professional, Fun Coaching Staff

3. Fun Overall Experience (waterslides, moderate training, tournament, BBQs, camping)

4. Affordable (less than half the cost of any comparable camp)
