The camp kicked off Sunday afternoon once registration was over and the campers were settled in their dorm rooms. The campers reported to the Rollins Center where they were grouped in three different groups; beginner, intermediate, and advanced. With 43 campers attending the camp, the Patriot coaching staff had a little more time for one on one instruction. "This years camp size is a little small but not much different from last year," said Coach Medders. "This is my first year as the head coach so it will take time for our wrestling team to be noticed and the camp to grow." Each camper got a lot more for their money simply because the coaches were able to give that one on one attention for those that asked for it.
From Monday up to Wednesday the campers had three sessions each day, with morning and afternoon session focusing on technique and instruction. The campers were taught varies moves and were paired up to work on what they had learned. The night session was for intense competition time. This was the time for the camper to put together everything they had learned and show what they had. Among other wrestling the camper was treated to different fun activities. The campers also got to experience other activities than just wrestling. One day they went to the water park and later that night they enjoyed a night at the movies.
Coach Medders felt confident about the outcome of the camp and was proud to see many of his wrestlers coming helping out with the camp. "This year is going to be the year to make something happen and I am looking forward to seeing what happens and anticipate to have a much better year then last year," said Medders.
