Founded in 1989, The Iron Wood Thrower Development Camp offers “world-class” instruction in the four throwing events of track and field: discus, hammer, javelin, and shot put.
Now in its 21st year, the Iron Wood Thrower Development Camp has established itself as the largest specialty track and field camp in the United States. As of 2008, nearly 4,000 athletes and coaches have attended Iron Wood! We’ve proudly hosted 22 Olympians and 7 former world record holders as well as several top-ranked collegiate, high school and club coaches on our instructional staff. We're extremely proud of our former campers, as they have gone on to achieve high levels of success in state, regional, national and international competition.
