Through the generosity of our Donors and Sponsors, who have contributed to our summer program for the last few years and the tremendous financial support given by 1200 Donors & Sponsors at the 2010 Gala & Benefit aboard the USS Intrepid, has allowed us to expand our summer camp opportunities to 700 boys and girls.
Since we began the summer camp initiative in 2006, with a little over 250 boys and girls, it has become the staple of our program. Our goal is to provide middle and high school boys and girls an opportunity to leave a “hot” city enjoying a week or so on a college campus throughout the northeastern United States upgrading their skills while interacting with boys and girls from throughout the country.
Hopefully, they are having a lot of fun while learning more life skills so they continue “living the dream”.
The camp at Sullivan County Community College will be operated by the BTS Wrestling Inc. with an eye on using the college facilities for future competitions and camps. There is a strong possibility of partnering with them helping the college begin a college wrestling program.
A mat has been purchased for the college as they begin to develop their budget that could possibly see them beginning a program in 2012 or 2013.
The Basketball Program recruits quite heavily in New York City and has won 3 NJCAA National Basketball Championships the past 7 years and it is a great fit for our kids to continue wrestling after graduating high school.
Our mission statement is to expand wrestling from Youth through the Olympics.
