Updated October 26, 2012:
Coach Fader will be accepted deposits of $250 until January 1st in order to lock in a trip price of $2,600. Please contact him ASAP for more information and to reserve a spot. 

Please read the information below about the 2013 Division III Cultural Exchange. Please contact Tim Fader at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater if you are interested in this opportunity. You can find the blog entries from the 2012 trip on this page.

The trip next summer will be in the last part of June and will be 12-13 days long.  The tour will go to the countries of Bulgaria and Turkey with information following about the towns we will visit and train.  Wrestlers can expect great food and hotels the entire trip as well as the chance to experience the cultural differences of these countries.  The wrestling instruction is done by World Silver Medalist George Kalchev and is world class.  Wrestlers can expect 1-2 workouts each day during the trip and 3-4 competitions against Bulgarian and Turkish Clubs.  The majority of the wrestling is Freestyle with the opportunity to wrestle Greco occcasionally.  The cost of $2600 is very close to the same as the price from 10 years ago!  There is very little need for money once you are over there as there is ALWAYS three meals a day.
