THEY SAID IT...
2008 Green Bay Packers Youth Football Camps Parent Comments
He is having a great time! The coaches are wonderful. He is learning a lot and they are taking the time to learn more about him as well. He has nothing but great things to say at the end of each day!
Kelly G., parent of Elm Grove camper
He is really having a great time and is enjoying what he has been learning thus far.
Lynn W., parent of Green Bay camper
He is really enjoying the experience. We have traveled four hours from our home to come to camp and stay for the week - it has been well worth it. Not only have the camp coaches been great, but I also wanted to let you know that the Kenosha YMCA that you have chosen has been very hospitable to us. You have made a great choice in your location.
Karen M., parent of Kenosha camper
The kids are having a blast! Keep up the good work! I've been driving three children to the Madison site for the second year and they are still just as enthusiastic as they were last year!
Jenny P., parent of three Madison campers
Again, my son is having a great time. This is his 6th camp, and because he is 14 years old, it is unfortunately his last. This camp is very well organized and thus far, has operated in a very "smooth" fashion. He has had a lot of positive comments sent his way, from his teammates and coaches, about his playing ability and his character. One of the coaches today told me that my son was a "dedicated, respectful young man." As a Mom, that means a lot to hear that from others about your child. As usual, all is well
Jane L., parent of Green Bay camper
He is enjoying camp very much. He is learning a lot of drills and skills that he didn't know before and able to refine what he already knows. This was a great experience for him. He has already told me he would like to return again next year.
Amy H., parent of Madison camper
It is going great so far. He is loving it. Since he is only 7, it is really exciting hearing his stories about the day.
Brenda H., parent of Madison camper
He is really enjoying the camp; Learning a lot, meeting some really nice kids. I am very excited about how the "team" approach is taught. They really feel good about themselves as a group.
Kim A., parent of Oshkosh camper
He is having a great time. He is learning a lot and is very excited about meeting some of the Packers.
Linda B., parent of Waukesha camper
He was excited when he came home from camp on day one. He told me all about the "3 step pass" and several other things he learned that day. The coaches seem truly interested in teaching these young children; and I was quite impressed by their patience with each child. He is definitely looking forward to next year as well.
Judee M., parent of Mequon camper
The boys had a wonderful experience. They learned a lot and also had a good time. All in all it was a great experience and the boys left with some great instruction and things to work on along with how to be a good sport, which we really impress upon them.
Tim B., parent of two Madison campers
I was really impressed with the fact that leadership and attitude is the most important thing with camp. He can be too competitive and we keep stressing these things to him. Iım so glad heıs getting the same message from real football players. That alone has made the camp worthwhile for me.
Barbara B., parent of Waukesha camper
My son is having a great time! The first night he was just busting out in knowledge that he learned at camp about the different positions. It was nice to see that you impress upon them the importance to eat well and to drink plenty of fluids. He was full of facts tonight that he learned from the movie and camp today. That is a great way to emphasize what we have been doing at home. I loved the way coach introduced the Packer Way. Again, these are excellent qualities they are teaching and getting the kids to think about and act on just like at home and school.
Joe F., parent of Elm Grove camper
Thank you for the email. He is having a wonderful time at camp and talks a lot about it when he comes home. He looks forward to it each day.
Tammy H., parent of Franklin camper
He is enjoying his third year at camp very much. He's tired when he gets home, but he still tells me all about the day. Yesterday he told me some of the stories that the two Packer heroes told.
Thanks to you and the staff for making this a positive experience for him.
Pam K., parent of Elm Grove camper
He is really enjoying the camp! I don't think he is going to want it to come to an end.
Jodi K., parent of Glendale camper
Heıs having a great time in camp so far!! We have no complaints at all. He's learning so much, and instead of being tired, every night he's been outside practicing even more. This camp has really motivated him!
Sandi B., parent of Kenosha camper
Thank you for your inquiry. He loves camp. He loves his coach and he feels like he is learning new skills every day. We could not be happier.
John S., parent of Kenosha camper
He has really enjoyed both days at camp this week. He is excited for the rest of the week. He comes home tired but ready for more!
Mary Beth R., parent of Madison camper
The camp is going great! I asked my son what he would like to say about it, and he replied," It's the funnest thing EVER!" He is really enjoying it, and seems to be learning a lot. And he thinks the coaches are "really cool". From what I've seen so far, it seems to be a very well run camp. I feel he's learning something in a safe environment, and most importantly....he's having fun!
Christine P., parent of Elm Grove camper
My son loves camp; he is learning and having fun. I think the camp is very well organized, I especially like that you have to "check" your child out at the end of the day, instead of all the kids just waiting in the parking lot. We will be back next year.
Anne L., parent of Franklin camper
It is a great experience for him. He has learned so much and absolutely enjoyed himself. He will take many of the lessons that he has learned so far with him into the future. He continues to rave about the camp each day when I pick him up. I was apprehensive about sending him because this was his first experience outside of Y flag football. This was the absolute best decision in camps that I have made this summer!
Theresa B., parent of Waukesha camper
He had a great time at camp! He enjoyed meeting other boys and learning about "slant" passes. He also enjoyed learning about hydration. He told me he can't drink Kool-Aid anymore because it has too much sugar in it. I like that he learned how to take care of himself and learned some Packer history. Even though he just turned six he was able to learn and retain the information. It was also nice that he was grouped with other boys his age. We will definitely do this camp again next year. Great Job!
Katie L., parent of Oshkosh camper
So far my son loves it! He enjoys all of the different things there teaching him. Today he loved the autographs!
Tracey P., parent of Mequon camper
Very impressed with the camp; the kids all get personal attention which is usually rare with groups this size. Most important, they are all having a great time.
Jason S., parent of Mequon camper
The camp is going great! He is really learning a lot and having fun.
Kathy H., parent of Waukesha camper
He loves the camp. Can't wait to go each day and already wants to go every year now! Great job so far, and appreciate the fact you're looking for feedback.
Lani L., parent of Madison camper
Just one word -- Awesome! That's what my kids have said about the camp. They love it! They're working hard but they love that as well. I've been very impressed with the camp as a whole and all the people associated with it. It's been a very positive experience so far!
Chantil R., parent of Kenosha campers
He is loving the camp! He lives and breathes football so this camp is right up his alley! Thanks!
Pam M., parent of Green Bay camper
I can't say enough great things about the camp. My son wasn't sure if football was his thing being only 9. But my 15-year-old whom is all about football is thrilled that his little brother is learning and loving everything about football. It was also very exciting for them to meet Bill Schroeder yesterday as well. But it has truly been a great experience for him and he can't wait to get up every morning and go. We will definitely be recommending this camp to all of his friends for next year. THANKS FOR THE GREAT EXPERIENCE!
Lori M., parent of Franklin camper
The boys are having a great time and things couldnıt be better. I have been enjoying watching them, too. I really think that they are learning a lot and I appreciate the values that they are instilling in the kids. All is good.
Melissa T., parent of Green Bay campers
Everything seems to be going well for him at camp and he is learning a lot of fundamentals. He was very excited to get a few autographs from the Pros. Great Camp!
Jennifer C., parent of Madison camper
They are loving the Green Bay Packers Camp! Thanks so much for having this available for the kids.
Judy L., parent of two Madison campers
He is only 6 and was very interested in going to camp as he loves football but we were concerned that it would be "too much" for him. The camp so far has been nothing but a wonderful learning experience. The instructors have been nothing but top-notch and supportive. We are so impressed and have put it on the calendars for years to come! We are truly grateful for all everyone has done to put on such a wonderful, well-rounded camp.
Jill C., parent of Oshkosh camper
Things are going great. He is really enjoying the camp program and is having fun playing with other football fanatics like him. It is really teaching him a lot about the game.
Jill N., parent of Green Bay camper
My son has been excited and just so talkative about all the activities and new friends he has met. He really loves seeing the former Packers come to camp and have them sign his shirt for him. The experience so far has wonderful and positive; reinforcing the philosophy that when you put your mind to it you can do anything. Thanks for asking and hope to go to next year camp.
Lana M., parent of Franklin camper
David says he really likes learning about offense and defense. He also loves the football games they play at camp.

Karen F., parent of Elm Grove camper
Just wanted to say thanks for having such a wonderful camp. My son loved it!
Ann A., parent of Waukesha camper
After only 2 days, I can tell you it is a huge success with my sons. From the moment we leave the field, in unison I hear about the day's events and what theyıve learned. The only thing I can compare their enthusiasm for this camp to is when their summer vacation begins. My boys canıt wait to go to bed each evening so they can wake up and go back to camp. The coaches are awesome and then add in the former Packer Heroes, what an experience! I can assure you that after this week, Iıll be asked for the next 51 weeks when they can go again.
Christopher K., parent of two Madison campers
Love the leadership award concept. Seems to be running smoothly! Appreciate the respect, diet and healthy lifestyle discussions!
Mandi T., parent of Kenosha camper
Heıs enjoying the experience very much, and is interested in coming back next year. He's telling his friends about it and asking them if they would be interested in doing it together next summer. The coaching staff is really nice. The camp is organized and well run.

I think the coaches are great! Very positive! He is having a great time! I think we'll definitely go again next year!
Clare R., parent of Waukesha camper
The camp is going well. The campers were excited to meet Bill Schroeder today. They are getting a great deal of instruction. I have been a football coach for several years and I am glad to see the coaches structure the stations to the age level they are coaching. The trainer is out there making sure all the kids are staying hydrated and eating their lunches. Great job.
John Y., parent of Franklin camper
He is having a great time at the Packer's Camp. He's an avid football fan, and it was a real treat to meet the heroes today. He has already learned so much about football (stances, passing, running, drills, hydration, etc.) and can't wait for tomorrow.
Anna R., parent of Elm Grove camper
He is having a blast. Super excited to get up and go.
Pamela F., parent of Madison camper

Peg S., parent of Oshkosh camper
I just picked him up from his second day of Packer camp...the words he uses to describe his first two days are: ıAmazing! Wonderful! Fun! Incredible!ı He absolutely loves every minute of it and as a mom, I couldn't be happier!
Julie K., parent of Waukesha camper
He is having a great time at camp. He's met some nice kids and is having a lot of fun.
Don L., parent of Madison camper
So far it is going well. This is his first football experience. He just started to get into sports and I'm amazed that he even wanted to join. However, football became his thing last fall and he can't seem to get enough of it! Thanks to the staff and their encouragement. I think it is helping him with his confidence.
Mary T., parent of Waukesha camper
I just wanted to let you know that he is having a great time. He told us after Mondayıs session that this was ıthe best camp he ever attended.ı Keep up the great work.
Melissa C., parent of Elm Grove camper
The kids were super excited to play two-hand touch on Monday during the afternoon. It sounds like they have had a great experience and loved watching the Packer highlights during lunch the first day!
Patti H., parent of Green Bay campers
My son is participating in the Kenosha Green Bay Packers camp this week and is having the time of his life! From the minute he gets in the car until he drops from exhaustion in bed he is talking about what great skills and lessons he's learned. He talks about sportsmanship, the 5 step drop, defense, offense. Of all the camps that I have sent my son to this one is by far the best experience and best money spent.
Martha F., parent of Kenosha camper
He absolutely loves football camp! My parents are taking him because we wanted him to do it in Green Bay and they are getting such a kick out of watching him! He gets so excited when he catches a ball. He said that his goal this week is to be able to walk on Lambeau Field so he has winning that contest on his mind! He got to throw the football at the helmet yesterday but he missed so he said that he has to work harder today. Thanks for following up!
Michelle A., parent of Green Bay camper
Our son loves the camp. Not only is he getting a great work out, his self esteem is growing and he is becoming a more confident player. The coaches are great motivators. He is up in the morning waiting for the camp to begin. We will definitely sign up next year. In fact, our 5 year old wants to know when he can attend camp.
Jenny S., parent of Mequon camper
He comes home everyday with a smile on his face. He really enjoys his time there Keep up the good work.

Cindy B., parent of Franklin camper
He has had a lot of fun meeting the retired football players. The coaches' drills are a lot of fun. He likes that there are scrimmages at the end of the day. He's met new friends and just plain LOVES the game of football!
Lori S., parent of Waukesha camper
His experience has been awesome. I thought he would burst with excitement after the first day as he showed my husband and me the spiral he now throws. He truly couldn't wait to go on day 2. He asked me how much it cost to send him and when I told him his response was, "Money well spent." This pleases us beyond words as we usually have a great deal of trouble getting him to do any sports.
Pam B., parent of Mequon camper
Check out comments from last year
Awesome Camp! My son is enjoying it immensely. He has learned a lot and the coaches are great at making sure he understands each drill. The coaches have high expectations for the players and keep them engaged with a lot of variety.
Dawn C., parent of Madison camper
He loves it! Today he hit the helmet so he was VERY excited. Great idea to have those goals/achievements to keep them motivated.
Amy B., parent of Elm Grove camper
He is having fun at camp this week. He typically doesnıt attend camps without a friend also attending. This year his good friend was unable to attend the Packer camp but he enjoys it so much that he was willing to attend without knowing anyone at camp. He came home exhausted yesterday but said he had a really good time.
Jackie B., parent of Mequon camper
He LOVES Packer Camp. He is having so much fun and is learning a lot! The coaches are great and he really enjoys the Packer Heroes. We're so glad we signed him up!

Shanna C., parent of Waukesha camper
He is loving camp. He said the kids are all great and he has made a bunch of new friends. He loves the coaches too and said everyone is expected to treat each other like one big family. I think he'll be begging to come back next year!

Todd H., parent of Green Bay camper
He had a great time. He was always looking forward to going. He learned a lot and had fun simultaneously. Having the ex-GB players there was awesome as well; something a kid hangs onto when they are growing and developing as people and players. Well organized, thank you!
Michelle D., parent of Elm Grove camper
It is going wonderful! He absolutely loves it. The thing I am impressed with is the "Packer Way." I love the idea that the kids are rewarded for their attitude, drive and determination along with respect and encouragement of others. That is wonderful!

Karen G., parent of Oshkosh camper
They both love it! My 6 year old was so excited this morning - couldn't wait to get to camp and see his new friends. My other son did the camp last year and was eager to be back. When I picked the boys up yesterday - they were both chattering all the way home on what they did during the day, what drills they learned, etc.
Julie S., parent of two Mequon campers
He is having a FANTASTIC time! He is so excited! At 8:30pm this evening when he was supposed to be in bed he was still showing me moves and stretches he learned. He loves sports and being a single mom who does not know all that much about all the football moves and positions, I am thrilled I kept the flyer I received about the camp and signed him up. The look on his face and his enthusiasm is priceless. The camp is professional, well organized yet fun. Kudos to everyone involved!
Jody N., parent of Glendale camper
This is his second year and he is really having a lot of fun!! Thanks for giving him a great experience!!
Jessica N, parent of Green Bay camper
He absolutely loves it. He is exhausted by the end of the day but no complaints. The mix of skill training, camaraderie, exercise and fun is perfect. He especially enjoyed meeting Johnnie Gray today. It's hard to find good summer programs for 14 year old boys. This is great stuff.
Sonja P., parent of Madison camper
He is having a GREAT time. I cannot say enough about the coaches, the organization of the director, everything.... he is so excited to go everyday! I have hung around a bit the first two mornings and was very impressed.

He is loving it. Thanks for asking. He is really learning some new things.
Joelle L., parent of Madison camper
Two days down and so far he's loving it!! Well worth the money!
