Kolat in-season and summer wrestling camps cater to wrestlers of all ages and skill levels. Cary trains wrestlers who have just begun their wrestling careers all the way to Division 1 college wrestlers who seek his guidance on winning National Titles.
 
He maintains a strict camp policy, all camps are capped with a maximum of 40 wrestlers. This policy allows Cary and his staff to focus on each athlete, providing effective coaching and individualized instructing.
 
Kolat Camps build from the basic skills necessary to be successful in the sport, giving you the advantage over the average wrestler.  Once basic skill areas have been addressed, we will move into more advanced techniques such as throws, inside trips, russian 2 on 1, etc.
 
Kolat camps put a large emphasis on high speed drilling, chain drilling, situation specific conditioning drilling, and combative wrestling during camps.  We run intensive technique camps allowing wrestlers to build muscle memory and execute wrestling techniques without hesitation.

Session 1:                             New Technique Introduced
Session 2:                             High repetition drilling within the same areas of new technique taught
Session 3:                             Live situational wrestling in new technique areas & matches

We analyze each athlete’s live wrestling and provide them with instruction after watching them in action. This camp provides new technique throughout camp, but offers one on one instruction to correct the mistakes observed during the live wrestling. Counselors are instructed to not only teach new techniques to campers, but address improper technique after live wrestling sessions and correct their mistakes.
 
We want each athlete who comes to camp to leave a better individual and wrestler, which is why all Kolat Camps are limited to 40 athletes per camp and split by weight class. Cary achieved his wrestling success by always keeping his training regime scheduled and constant. He takes the same approach toward his camps. Each wrestler will receive the opportunity to learn in small groups and interact one on one with instructors.
 
Camps fill quickly, so please get registered as soon as possible. 

 
Freestyle Camps:
 
Freestyle camps follow the same format as our folk style camps but generally are split by age group.  Cary attempts to operate freestyle camps prior to freestyle events allowing wrestlers to prepare for competition.

How Do I Get The Most From Cary’s Camp?

All camps are split by weight class to ensure those attending have proper partners with many to choose from.  This allows the camp to run smoothly and wrestlers get a chance to train with all body shapes and styles. 

Because we keep our camps at 40 and by weight it is recommended that you attend multiple camps.  This allows Cary and the staff to get to know you and continually progress your training.  The summer camps are taught with training agendas revolving around a series of techniques that Cary continually changes with each camp.

 
Example:  If you have attended the first camp of the year for your specific weight class, the next camp you attend with your weight class will introduce new techniques. 

Each camp is taught with basics covered first and then the following:

Neutral Series
Top Series
Bottom Series

Each camp the series is changed.

(Note:  Campers who have attended camp prior are given priority for open slots in camp along with a discount for multiple attendances.  Please call 410.374.0789 or email kolatcamps@carykolat.com for discounted price.)

 
Invite Only Camps

Invite only camps range in size from 6 to 30 wrestlers per camp.  Campers who have showed steady improvement but most of all a true desire to improve and PUSH THEMSELVES are invited to these camps.  These camps do not always possess the most talented wrestlers (although most are highly accomplished) but the hardest working that will push everyone in the room that they train with.

Cary holds 6 to 8 of these camps annually and wrestlers are sent invitations via email if they have shown exceptional work ethic in the practice room or camps.

Cary’s main training facility is located north of Baltimore where most camps take place.
