Sports Camps

2024 NE Iowa Football Camp

This is a non-contact camp. All campers will be instructed in both offensive and defensive fundamentals, including competitive drills. Charles City Football staff and alumni players will do all instruction. Each camper needs to wear athletic shoes, shirt, shorts, socks and change into football cleats (if possible). NO hats or jewelry. All campers are required to fill out a registration form, full payment, and a completed Release and Medical Authorization form turned into the Charles City YMCA to secure a spot in camp. Refunds will only be given when we receive written notice from a physician stating that the athlete is unable to participate in the camp. If this occurs, a $5 administration fee will be deducted from your refund.
