Wrestlers and Coaches – We have another great line up of clinicians for the 2013camp season.

Outdoor Challenge Camps, camps unlike any other camp you have ever attended! Besides excellent clinicians our camps include Outdoor Challenge Activities and cross-training opportunities including: seventeen stage military style obstacle course, morning runs, log work outs, river nerf-football, a paintball tournament and a canoe trip down a "Wild & Scenic River. Last years camps drew wrestlers from South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, Iowa, Minnesota, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Illinois and Nebraska. Visit our web site below for details.

We have also hosted 11 NCAA and NAIA National Championship Teams on College Team Retreats. These included 26 individual National Champions, numerous All-Americans, the current World Bronze Medalist and 2012 Olympic Team heavyweight and the current reigning UFC MMA Lightweight Champion. If these elite athletes use our camps to challenge themselves you can do the same to develop the physical and mental toughness to make a difference in next years wrestling season.

"My experience as a clinician at the Outdoor Challenge Camps in Nebraska was fantastic! The wrestlers responded to technique, competitions and challenges with an open mind and fierce intensity. It can only lead me to believe that the rugged environment, beautiful scenery, great food and good people keep the wrestlers asking for more each day. I could see campers building "mental toughness" right before my eyes while enjoying every minute of it. This truly is a unique experience for young men to build wrestling skills, develop intestinal fortitude and have fun while doing it. The best camp/clinic I have ever been associated with. Steve Hansen does a great job orchestrating this experience for all ages and truly cares about this great sport. If you love the outdoors and want to reach your full potential, this camp is for you!"
