ATTENTION WRESTLERS

Overnight camp opportunity

Pittston Area athletes grades 7-11 (2025-2026 school year)

Every summer our booster club helps athletes attend a wrestling camp by covering a large portion of the cost. We offer this opportunity for athletes to not only continue improving their skills in the off-season but to promote team bonding.

This year we will be offering our athletes a chance to attend Bloomsburg University Camp, and with the addition of a girls team for the 26-27 season, we are happy to provide our female athletes an opportunity to attend an all girls camp at Lock Haven University.
These are structured, residential camps (athletes are dropped off, housed in dorms, follow the camps schedule with sessions, and are picked up at completion of camp).

🤼Boys Only🤼
Dates: June 28-July 1 2026
Location: Bloomsburg University
Cost: $425/athlete. The booster club will cover $250/athlete, leaving the parent balance of $175. The discount code is available via DM. Feel free to send me a message with your interest so I can provide you with the link and code.

🤼‍♀️Girls Only🤼‍♀️
Dates: June 25-28, 2026
Location: Lock Haven University
Cost: $395/athlete. The booster club will cover $250/athlete, leaving the parent responsibility $145. The Lock Haven coach has set up a discount link for families. Please reach out to me for the registration link and discount code.

* This discount is offered to active athletes grades 7-11. An "active" athlete is one who wrestled the 25-26 season, completed the season, and is returning for the 26-27 season.

*This is optional, and not a requirement. Strongly encouraged however.

*Parents are responsible for transportation to/from camp.

*Parents are responsible for independent registration of their son/daughter and deposit payment due at time of registration.

*The discount will be closed by both universities at a date to be determined by them. Once registration is closed, they will not accept any further discounted entries.

Any questions or concerns please reach out and I will be happy to help any way I can.
