PACKERS TO HOST FOOTBALL OUTREACH CAMPS THIS SPRING

Camps to take place at Valley View Elementary in Green Bay, Erin Elementary in Hartford and Wrightstown Elementary in Wrightstown

ASHWAUBENON — The Green Bay Packers will host several Football Outreach Camps this spring to give elementary school students the opportunity to get active and have fun, in conjunction with the NFL Play 60 program.

The camps will each include approximately 300 student participants, and members of the media are invited to cover each event. The camps will take place on:

  • Tuesday, May 18, from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at Valley View Elementary in the Ashwaubenon School District
  • Thursday, May 20, from 11:45 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. at Erin Elementary in Hartford
  • Thursday, May 27, from 9:15 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Wrightstown Elementary in Wrightstown

Packers football outreach specialist Ryan Fencl will assist with the camps, along with Packers alumnus and player/alumni specialist Tony Fisher.

The Green Bay Packers Football Outreach Camp program is complimentary and provides boys and girls the opportunity to test their football skills in various drills and obstacle courses.

Participants rotate through five drill stations (a relay race, kicking a ball, throwing a pass, leaping for a catch, and diving for a touchdown) that will last approximately 45 minutes.

The NFL PLAY 60 campaign is designed to tackle childhood obesity by getting kids active through in-school, after-school and team-based programs.
