Ken Chertow Wrestling

Our 2024 summer camp is at the spacious Blair County Convention Center in Altoona, PA.  We learn, drill, wrestle, and eat our meals in this super facility.  Wrestlers and staff will be housed in both the nearby Altoona Grand Hotel and the Courtyard by Marriott which is attached to the convention center.  We have conducted our camps in central Pennsylvania successfully for over 20 years, and we look forward to helping your wrestler this summer, July 13-28. 

Most teenagers register as resident campers. This includes overnight lodging and meals in addition to all of the learning, drilling, and wrestling. Many younger campers register as commuters, which means they share a hotel room with their parent(s) at the Altoona Grand Hotel.  During the registration process, parents can request for us to reserve you and your family a private hotel room at a discounted rate in addition to a meal plan, so you can have the whole camp experience with your wrestler. This is a great opportunity to bond with your wrestler and form friendships with other wrestling families. We of course also welcome traditional commuters who live locally. Wrestlers who commute will receive all meals throughout the duration of camp as part of the registration fee.

Please carefully read through each page of the registration form to ensure that all information is provided accurately. To complete registration through our secure site, please have your Visa or MasterCard information available.

This registration session will allow you to complete contact information, sign up for participation, and submit payment.
