Beat The Streets Chicago Serve Over 300 Youth During Summer Camp

We are proud to say that during this year's summer camp over 300 kids ages 5-18 registered for 962 one-week slots, including wrestling and tumbling at 4 locations and Summer Enrichment at our Midway location. 

Beat the Streets Chicago’s goal is to make wrestling accessible to all Chicago youth. This year, we provided $105,000 in camp scholarships in addition to the grant received from Chicago Public Schools that allowed us to offer camp free to CPS students.  Over 75% of total registration fees were waived to ensure that there were no financial barriers for any child wanting to wrestle with us this summer.

Our camps included numerous fun games as well as technique taught by several of our high level coaches. Youth from across Chicago were able to spend the bulk of their summer in a friendly, supportive environment allowing them to connect with other youth, develop character, and improve physical literacy. 

Our camps are designed to give our wrestlers structure that is both fun and beneficial during summer vacation. Now that school is back in session, we hope each wrestler involved in our camps leveled up in some way whether it be academically, athletically, or emotionally.
