Location Information: The Ramada Inn has proved to be an excellent location for both our Summer and Winter Break Training Camps since 1997. We eat, sleep, and train in this excellent learning and training facility. The Ramada Inn has nice indoor and outdoor pools, as well as a hot tub. There is also a fitness center, game room, and restaurant.

Some families design a vacation around camp and join their young wrestlers at our nice host hotel. Penn State is only 2 miles away and there are both indoor and outdoor recreation opportunities in the State College area. Also note that many of our high school campers take time before or after camp to visit Penn State and many other colleges. There are over 30 colleges in Pennsylvania with wrestling programs including 14 Division I Wrestling programs. We work hard to prepare our campers to succeed in college on and off the mats, and we often help place our dedicated campers in good colleges.

Team and Group Discounts: We offer significant Team and Group Discounts for as few as 8 wrestlers of all ages from one community. In addition, we have programs that allow coaches and parents to attend camp with their group at no charge. Please email SuperGold@kenchertow.com for more information.

Double Camp Discounts: Many campers attend at two locations. These campers will receive a $100 double camp discount on the 2nd week of camp.

Airport Shuttle: Free, safe airport shuttle from local Airport or Bus Station. If you need to be picked up, please e-mail tara@kenchertow.com with your itinerary ASAP.

Coaches and Parents: Coaches and parents are welcome to attend any and all sessions free. Contact our office for food and housing options.



Congratulations to 2012 Junior National Champion and long-time Super Gold Camper Zain Retherford!

Ken,
Thanks again for another outstanding year at summer camp. I am very excited about the fact that both of our Southern Columbia's elementary coaches were able to attend your camp with some of our other team members. I know they were all extremely impressed with how well organized and the large number of world class clinicians that you have on staff at your camp. You run the best camps in the nation. Keep up the great job and we will see you in the fall at HTC. I included a couple of pics of my son Jake with Brad, Quentin, Troy & Mike.

Sincerely,
Ralph Renn
Long-Time Super Gold Camper and HTC Student Quentin Wright. Quentin is a 2011 NCAA Champion, 2x State Champion and NCAA All-American for Penn State as a true freshman.
