OHA Women’s Wrestling Camp:

A Breakthrough Summer on The Hill

This summer marked an exciting milestone for Oak Hill Academy as we hosted our first-ever Women’s Wrestling Camp. The camp’s focus was to create a space where young women in wrestling could learn directly from female mentors and role models. The camp was an incredible success. Over six days, participants trained hard, built strength and confidence, and formed friendships that will last a lifetime. Between sessions, the girls enjoyed fishing, swimming, and even a wrestling room sleepover— complete with movies, homemade pie, and ice cream, which was a big hit!

The camp featured an impressive lineup of instructors, including USA Senior World Team member Emma Bruntil, collegiate standouts Shelby Kemp and Jamie Hearl, Heidelberg University Women’s Head Coach CarrieAnn Randolph, and Virginia National Women’s Team Coach Aubrey Burkett-Erice. The week was filled with energy, encouragement, and empowerment. This camp has already become a cornerstone for the growth of women’s wrestling at Oak Hill Academy, and we can’t wait to bring it back— bigger and better—next summer!
