not wrestling camps, but what sports summer camps have wrestling options?

I know we are not suppose to have threads about the "wrestling camps" because they advertise here - but this is a different category:
what about generalize sports and recreational camps that have "some" wrestling as one of the options? - do you know of any?

Below is a link to an MMA youth summer camp in Florida. Obviously, wrestling will be covered during such a camp.

I think this type of summer camp is something that will gain in popularity over the next few years.

I was looking for one that had canoeing, fishing, basketball, wrestling, etc.. - Or something equally fun for those in urban settings...I would think a couple wrestling sessions per day is enough for the average kid...but then you kinda need something to do...

I have never been to a Martinez camp, which I'm sure is great from what I've heard, but the Camp of Champs I was referring to is: http://www.campofchamps.org/

Run by two Olympic gold medalists, we were very satisfied with our father/son camp experience and there was fishing, canoeing, swimming, and other things between the twice daily wrestling sessions.

That's also where we met Dan Gable for the first time and my kids got to hold an Olympic gold medal for the first time.

Are there many older kids at that camp, 7th grade, freshman etc?. - I knew about the father/son camp a while back but thought my kids might be getting old for me to go with them...
