That's not just $, but also a lot of time, blood, sweat, and tears.  I hope the hard work pays off for you.

How in the world are any of us poor boys gonna be able to keep up with that???

No offense PLd103 but this is why I root for the economically challenged (I hope that is PC) schools such as Hopkinsville, Holmes, McCreary Central, and other inner city and "country" schools.

They have no way to keep up with this.  Many can barely afford to wrestle for their school, some schools require a fee, and the cost of their shoes, food on the road.  Let alone the money they don't earn for their family while they are wrestling. 

I know here in Nky the wrestling community has helped some of these kids out.  I've donated to a camp fund.  Local schools that hold camps give discounts or allow them to work it off.  (ie Campbell Co., SK are two that I know of)  But these kids never get the opportunity to go to a Jordan/Cheartow/Ohio state camp. 

I'm not sure what I'm trying to say here.  Just remember this when you ask someone why they didn't go to a camp over the summer or attend some USA/AAU tourneys over the summer.  Or giving a teammate a hard time for not attending any of these.  Many don't like to admit they can't afford the cards or entry fees.

OK I'll get off my soap box and complete my one good deed for the year.  :-D

Fill out application that is attached and send it to USA Wrestling.

does anybody know how to get in touch with these funds (camp funds) so that we can help out these kids.

Something else to consider, some of these camps if you contact them and tell them you have a kid with a financial hardship...they will work with the kid.  I know Ken Chertow usually will.  He has a scholarship program too.  It might be tied to USAW, but i know if you contact him he will send you a financial aid application of some sort.

[kdsmith27 14]

The JRC Scholarship is not for one person. It is for multiple Kids.

Last years KY recipients of the Scholarship were

Bryan Peace

Tim Mckenney

Carson Chambliss

Jake Wempe

There were 251 Scholarships given for 31 different camps. There is no limit as to how many are given per state. But to receive it, you must apply.

Ryan Kelly and Matt Slone are going to the West Virginia University camp in a couple weeks.  Then when  they get back Sheldon Clark is going to Virginia Tech Competition Camp.  We usually go to Appalachian State University so this will be a  nice change of pace.
