This year WEST COAST WRESTLER will have our full line up of camps PLUS we will be adding in a 5-day all girls camp in 2023. NCAA National Champion Mark Muñoz will be the head clinician for each camp and will be bringing in some of his favorite clinicians as guests. Wrestlers will train along side Coach Mark and staff learning technique that is successful at the highest level. We will have morning beach runs, afternoon pool workouts, live/intense drilling practices, team competitions, and motivational/mental training sessions. We are confident wrestlers will walk away better both on and off the mat.

The 5-Day Intensive Training Camp is scheduled from July 21-25, 2023. **RESIDENT SPOTS FULL**(Get on the waitlist here or register as a commuter)

Check-in will be from 12:00-1:30pm on the 21st. Check-out will be at 12:00pm on the 25th. Details will be e-mailed out during the month of June, but please feel free to contact us with any questions at any time.

Intensive camps are open to any and all wrestlers 14-18 years of age and currently in Jr High or High School. Female wrestlers are welcome and will be housed in a separate dorm.

The camp will be held at The Army and Navy Academy located in Carlsbad, California. It is centered on a sixteen acre campus perfectly situated on the Pacific Ocean, thirty-five miles north of San Diego and eighty miles south of Los Angeles.  Map

At West Coast Wrestling Camps we will be surrounded by world class athletes. They train elite wrestlers every day and know what it takes to be a champion. They specialize in breaking down each technique to the level of every wrestler and are excellent with all ages. We are proud to say that all of the coaches not only excel in their sport, but also in class and character. Their stories of Desire, Direction, Discipline, Diligence, and Dedication will inspire the next generation of wrestlers to their own success stories. GUEST CLINICIAN ANNOUNCEMENTS COMING SOON!

It is important to note that due to the level of activity an intensive camp requires, we HIGHLY recommend to come to camp in good shape. While this is a wrestling camp where learning/improving technique is a priority, we will also place a large focus on physical activity to push the boundaries to gain a mental edge.

Overnight campers will stay in dorm rooms directly on The Army and Navy Academy campus. There will be 2-4 campers in each room with close supervision. There will be 3 meals offered each day along with a camp store to purchase additional food items.

For those traveling by plane or train, there will be vans available to pick up and escort each camper to the Army and Navy Academy.

Flights should be scheduled into the San Diego International Airport arriving before 10:30am on registration day and leaving after 3:00pm on the final day of camp. 

Trains should be scheduled into the Oceanside Amtrak Station arriving before 11:00am on registration day and leaving after 1:30pm on the final day of camp.

We ask for all travel information to be submitted a minimum of 7 days prior to the camp start date. Please fill out the details under Camp Forms or by clicking here.

FYI: Laundry will be done for all wrestlers on the third day of camp, but please pack generously. It is always better to have too many shirts and shorts than not enough!

We will be using the beach for morning runs, team competitions, character building activities, and free time every day. During these activities, we will be using the sand area or shallow water only! Swimming in the ocean is not required during any activity. Life guards and camp counselors will be on duty at all times we have beach access.

We will be cross training in the pool each day. Life guards and camp counselors will be on duty at all times we have pool access. (Wrestlers will learn how to swim if they do not know already)  

Day campers will be expected to be in attendance by 6:00am to join in the morning beach runs. Night sessions will end at 9:00pm. Because of the early start and late let out, all meals will be included along with a camp store to purchase additional food items. Day campers must bring wrestling gear (wrestling & running shoes and workout clothes), swimsuits, and an attitude of a champion.

Each wrestler will come away with expert knowledge on the sport of wrestling. All participants will be given a booklet containing the techniques taught during the camp, as well as a character file with several inspirational quotes, stories, and testimonies. The purpose behind this is to encourage the campers to become students of the sport. We hope that the campers will come away having had great experiences that will not be forgotten. Please note this camp that will only allow you to reach a higher goal if practiced correctly and consistently. Consistency and hard work paired with world class technique is the key to a successful wrestler!

Wrestlers may not come to camp if:

Exhibiting any symptoms of the coronavirus: mild to severe respiratory illness with fever, cough and difficulty breathing, or other symptoms identified by the CDC, or if you have been in close contact with someone with COVID in the last 5 days. Vulnerable individuals whose immune system is compromised should speak with their physician prior to attending camp.

Thank you for your commitment to help us ensure a more safe environment during this time!

The Army and Navy Academy campus offers a 24 hour security system, equipped with campus police and video monitors. Along with the campus police, we will have counselors on hand to supervise. Although this does not guarantee safety, we feel we are taking the measures necessary to help the camp run as smoothly as possible. (Beach access is locked during non-use times and will be monitored by campus security 24 hours a day. We will also have life guards on duty at all times during our beach use).

Participants must have a USA Membership Card to attend camp this summer. This is the same card used to participate in USA sanctioned tournaments and events. Please note this will be secondary insurance for you in the event it is needed. usawmembership.com
