Hester to host youth football camp at local high school

LAKE FOREST, Ill. – Bears wide receiver Devin Hester will host a football camp for boys and girls ages 7-14 July 11-12 at Niles West High School in Skokie.

The Old Spice Devin Hester Football Camp presented by Fifth Third Bank will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. each day. The superstar return specialist will be on hand to direct the activities of the camp and provide instruction.

“It’s a great honor to work with the kids,” Hester said Tuesday at Halas Hall. “When kids get to work with a football player or anybody else in sports, all of their eyes light up and they pay attention to whatever you say.”

The camp will focus on teaching fundamentals and the team concept. Individual groups will be small to assure that each camper receives personalized instruction.

All campers will receive an autographed team photo, a T-shirt and the chance to win contests and prizes. The cost of the camp is $199. For more information, log onto www.devinhestercamp.com or call (513) 793-CAMP.
