ABMF Youth Wrestling and Leadership Development Camp

DUE TO THE COVID-19 CRISIS, WE HAVE AGAIN RESCHEDULED TO A LATER DATE.

WHAT IS THIS?

This unique experience offers middle school and high school aged wrestlers a chance to spend a day challenging themselves athletically and mentally. It is not a tournament nor competition; rather, it is a leadership development experience that happens to incorporate wrestling as a means to connect service-oriented veterans and first-responders to young, developing athletes. Part sweat-fest and part lecture, we guarantee our speakers and coaches will leave an impact on the participants.

WHERE DID THIS COME FROM?

Aaron Butler was a 4-time High School Wrestling State Champion in Utah who later became an US Army Special Forces soldier (Green Beret) and ultimately sacrificed his life for the Nation while fighting ISIS-K terrorists in Afghanistan, 2017.

Aaron's legacy of tenacious leadership and exceptional character lives on. The Idaho-based Aaron Butler Memorial Foundation (ABMF) seeks to empower young athletes by exposing them to powerful messages of leadership, character, and service while they are immersed in sport. The messages are delivered to the young athletes by select military veterans, combat veterans, first responders, and community members with inspiring leadership lessons. The ABMF's "Youth Leadership Development Through Sport" pillar is a commitment to America's youth which offers opportunity to develop physically while providing perspective on the importance, meaning, and gravity of service within one's community.

The ABMF is chartered to conduct emotional and educational events, while cultivating leadership and character in young athletes.
