Thorn Camp Mission
Our mission for every intensive camp at The Farm is to create an ideal training environment. We do this with a unique application process where wrestlers of the same size and ability are placed in the same camp.
At camp the athletes will get a wrestler to coach ratio of 9 to 1. They will work extensively on takedown’s (tie up, set up, shot, finish) as well as some mat work.
Muscle Memory will be developed through a progressive system of hard drilling, and each evening session is devoted to live wrestling where your wrestler will get 8-12 matches with different partners.
Campers will learn the techniques and training methods that won the Thorn Brothers 11 individual State Titles and helped each one become Division I All-Americans. Remember, summer is the best time to make a jump on your opponents.
Put in the time now!

"Thorn Camps are a great experience to practice with the best wrestlers in the midwest. Connections and friendships are easily made and the counselors are young and very experienced, as well as easily related to by all the wrestlers."

"Thorn Camps are great camps with a lot of great partners and even better coaches. David Thorn is a great technician with a wide variety of moves. David is also a great mentor and has helped me with life on and off the mat."

"Thorn Camp really stood out to me from the rest of the camps I attended the last two summers.
The atmosphere at Thorn Camp is like no other because it is in the middle of nowhere and us campers really learned to bond with each other and were able to focus solely on our goal of getting better at wrestling.
The quality of partners was great. Everyone pushed each other to get better and I feel that it really prepared me for summer competitions! I recommend anyone that wants to be pushed and get better to attend David Thorn's camp. It will give you a good idea of where you are at."
