About this event

Minnesota Vikings Pro Bowl FB C.J. Ham and IFA present the 5th Annual C.J. Ham Youth Football Camp presented by Essentia Health. Open to 400 kids between ages 6-15 (going into grades 1-9 in the '24-'25 school year), CJ Ham’s youth football camp will be hosted at Duluth Denfeld High School on July 7th, 2024.

1st-5th grade camp will be from 10AM-12PM

6th-9th grade camp will be from 1PM-3PM.

The camp will include one-on-one football instruction and will focus on character development, leadership and sportsmanship. Participants will receive hands-on training from C.J. Ham, ETS Duluth, and some of the region’s most experienced players and coaches, while also being taught valuable life skills such as teamwork and dedication.

Additionally, there will be frequent off-the-field conversations about leadership, work ethic, and education, as C.J. stresses the importance of these intangibles in leading to a healthy and successful life. One of C.J.’s main objectives in his initiative to give back is to ensure that each child believes in themselves.

Please be sure you sign up for a ticket for the correct camp based on ages.

All proceeds from camp will go to the Ham Family Scholarship presented by Essentia Health!
