National and University Football Camps in Minnesota
Football camps are run by national organizations, universities, and local groups or individuals. You’ll generally find some of each type in each state, although some states do have more camp opportunities than others. There are stand-outs in each category, with some camps being more popular and successful than others. Look at the info for each camp and try to find one with a long history, a record of alumni who have gone on to play at the college or pro level, and that offers the kind of experience you are looking for, whether it’s instruction, recruiting, game time, or all three.
University camps gives players the chance to experience college life while becoming better football players. Overnight camps at universities offer campers the chance to live in the dorms, eat in the dining halls, and enjoy the other facilities on campus, as well as train with the college’s coaching staff and current team members. The University of Minnesota hosts a camp like this, both a general skills camp and the linebacker camp.
National camps are often hosted by universities, but are run by a private organization. One of these national organizations is Sports International. Sports International camps are unique in that each camp in each city is run by a particular player or team. The Minnesota camp is run by the Minnesota Vikings and Ben Leber. There are two types of SI camps: youth and high school. The high school camp focuses on instruction and recruiting, with the camp helping campers to find recruiting opportunities.
