THEY SAID IT.....
PARENT COMMENTS ON THEIR CHILDREN'S 2005 GREEN BAY PACKERS YOUTH FOOTBALL CAMP EXPERIENCE....
You all did a fantastic job! I was very impressed by your rules, and your expectations of the campers. My son thanked me everyday for signing him up, and would consider coming back again! He loved meeting the heroes and hearing their stories. I enjoyed that just as much! Thanks again for a wonderful week! Sarah
The camp was extremely well run and organized. My son had a great time, learned a lot and enjoyed meeting former Packer players, The coaching staff was excellent and we will definitely sign him up again for next years camp. Jan
Thank you for a great camp and experience for our son! Ann
He enjoyed the camp so much he didn't want to come back to Texas! At camp the coaches called him "Texas" which really showed they really got to know the kids individually. Lisa
The camp was great for my son for a number of different reasons. We, my husband and I, know nothing about football. He expressed an interest and you were able to teach him a lot about the basics of the sport. I loved your character building ideas and the workouts. He told me he had to hustle all the time, "it's the packer way!ý Thanks for a great camp! Luann
My son cannot wait until next year! He wishes it was longer then one week! Julie
This was my son's first year attending the camp. He absolutely loved it! Not only did he learn a lot, but he worked hard and had fun doing it. We will definitely be signing up again next year. Thanks so much. Ellen
AWESOME!!!!! I love that ability was not stressed as much as leadership, good attitude, etc. My young six year old got the Hustle Award. What a great thing for him to identify with. He could never equal those older boys in ability this year. He sure could shine in positive attitude and motivation though. We loved it and I have told many others about it. We are thrilled and will be back next year. Thank you. Kimberly

My son had a great experience and had so much fun. He can't wait until next year. Thanks to the coaching staff, with a special thanks to Dominik. Debbie
We were very happy w/ the camp, and I intend to sign him up again next year. When I picked him up the first day of camp he already told me that he would love to go to GB-camp again next year. Petra and Franz
My child had a lot of fun. He would like to play football in high school now. Thank you! Terry
He was able to ask for help to more effectively block without holding. The coaches were very helpful and responsive to his questions. Duane
Our son loved the camp! He had all positive comments at the end of each day. My husband and I also loved what we could hear from the sidelines from the coaches. I think teaching good sportsmanship and encouraging the kids to work to their highest potential is a valuable lesson with all sports and all areas of life. Thanks. Patti
Thank you for treating my son so well, he had a blast. He is Autistic and the coaches all did a fantastic job with him. Donna
My son was very excited and pleased when all of the coaches made a big deal about the interception he made during one of the scrimmages. And, he really enjoyed interacting with the coaching staff and former players. Plus, he was very proud to have received the "Spirit of the Game" award. My son thoroughly enjoyed your camp. He didn't want it to end. And, he definitely wants to do it again next year. Hans
He REALLY enjoyed the camp and is looking forward to next year. Susan
Fantastic program - this was my son's first experience with football and he loved it. He came home tired but totally excited about the camp each day. Now my younger son wants to participate next year. Great job!!! Jim & Kathy
My husband couldn't wait to get out and throw the football with our son after camp and he was very impressed with the improvements after camp. Melissa
I'm still very happy that he had the opportunity to go. It's these types of experiences that help to change a child's life for the better. Thank you. Erik
Just goiong to sum it up and say the camp was well worth the investment and is a great starter camp for kids considering football. Thanks! Derick
Thank you very much for sponsoring a great camp! Timothy
I thought the camp was extremely good with great coaches. My son learned a lot (he never had any football experience at all) and had a very good time. Catherine
This was a spectacular camp. Very motivational. Hearing someone telling my kid that it is more important to be a great person and leader than it is to be a great athlete certainly helps to reinforce what I am trying to instill as a father. I will be back next year with both of my boys. Again, what a great week! I took the entire week off of work just to watch. Roy

Again, this is a camp you can be extremely proud of. The staff was incredibly professional, upbeat and motivated. They were kind and gentle and encouraging. They were extremely positive role models. From what my son told me nightly, the Packer Hero visits were motivating and had positive messages during their talks. My son liked the video segments once in awhile to get a little break from the physical ness of the camp (he was tired!). He feels he has learned several skills that will help him in the season and has been repeating the life-skill lessons to others whenever they apply. I'm sure he will apply some of the skills to other sports and to academics (goal-setting, focus, determination). As parents, we loved the philosophy and can hardly wait for its return next summer. I'm sure that when my son looks back upon what was the best part of his summer this year, this will be at the top!
He thought that the camp was very fun, and he learned a lot about football. His favorite part was meeting the Packer heroes. That's a great way of keeping the tradition alive and passing it on to the next generation. Debbie
Our son and a fantastic time! Every day when he was picked up, he had such an excited look as he reiterated the day's activities! I only wish he could tell us his regular school days with such enthusiasm! Pat
Our son had a very positive experience! We see an increase in his confidence already! Thank you so very much! Dennis
This was by far the best camp my son has ever attended. He could not stop talking about it. He also tried to teach everything he learned to his 4-year-old brother. I have noticed a huge difference in the way he plays other sports due to the teamwork and attitude discussions that were had during camp. Kudos to you for putting together such a great experience for the kids! Beverly
My son really enjoyed the camp. He would show us some of the things he learned every night. He has said that the coaches were funny and nice and that he would like to go again next year. Keep up the good work! Sandy
Our son had a great time at the camp and enjoyed meeting the Packer heroes. He treasures the T-Shirt that they signed. While he had a good time, we're not sure if we will be sending him again in the future. Our son was engaged during the instruction periods. The coaches seemed positive and helpful. He liked learning more about specific positions. He appreciated the on-the-field drills and instructions. Mary and Brian
It was a great experience and coaches were great-- very positive and putting the FUN back into football! Thanks! Donna
The drills were exciting for my child because he had never done them before. Also, the autograph sessions were a nice change of pace. Josh
On the first day, there was very clear tasking as to where to report and what the schedule was. There seemed to be a better team effort going on and all team members knew the drill each day. Other than that, the hero and coaching message that citizenship, teamwork, and integrity are more important than football were well placed. Let's face it, 99.9% of these kids won't grow up to be NFL stars. They will ALL, however, grow up to be men, fathers, and citizens in our community. Rich
Both of my sons really enjoyed the camp. This was my 9-year old son's first exposure to playing football and he loved it. My 13-year old son has played 3 years and said that this is the first camp that he's been to that he actually learned something from. We'll be back next year! It was very well organized and well-run. Great staff, too! Kelly |
