Outdoor Challenge Camps has partnered with Eric Akin and COBRA Wrestling Club of Council Bluffs Iowa to offer you a unique opportunity to not only increase your wrestling skills over the summer but to get PLENTY of competition.  The World Class Team Camp is run by COBRA Wrestling Club and hosted at Thomas Jefferson High School in Council Bluffs.  It yearly draws some of the top wrestlers from  western Iowa ,eastern Nebraska and northeast Kansas.

The camp offers a world class team technique/ competition camp  designed for the wrestler looking to out-train his competition during the off season, and ensure himself a spot on the awards stand next season. This camp will blend technique training sessions with world class competitors/ coaches, with 3-4 live matches per day in our team dual competition format. Wrestlers from age 9 and up will realize the benefits of this camp, which will focus on the development of elementary, junior high, and high schools wrestlers. The goal of this camp is to teach new and reinforce old, high percentage wrestling techniques, while gaining almost a half of a season worth of live match experience. Coupled with the matches at Outdoor Challenge Camps you will get nearly the equivalent of a seasons worth of live matches.


This years World Class Team Camp features lead clinicians Eric Akin and Wade Schalles, assisted by other  All-Americans, Collegiate Wrestlers, & High School Coaches including:
