While our Clinics are open to wrestlers of all ages and experience levels, the SWS Summer Camp in Mechanicsburg, PA is geared towards experienced athletes. The SWS Summer camp is open to wrestlers entering grades 7-12 in the Fall of 2024. Campers will be grouped with other campers of the same age, grade level, and experience to ensure everyone gets the most out of each session.

The SWS Summer Camp is for experienced wrestlers who are serious about taking their skills to the next level. If you have a wrestler who does not meet the age requirement to attend camp but is experienced enough to train with older athletes, please email us at info@snyderwrestling.com as we do make expectations on a case by case basis.

Please read our FAQs page to see if any of your questions have been answered there. You are also welcome to email us via the Contact Us form. You will get the fastest response from email. Typically, you will see a response to your email within 12 hours.
