The Lift Up Program™ is a youth-focused community outreach program designed to inspire, encourage, and support students through mentorship, athletics, character development, and real-life leadership lessons.
This program brings positive role models directly to students in an engaging, motivating, and memorable way. While football and athletics may be part of the experience, The Lift Up Program™ is not just about sports. It is about helping young people build confidence, make better choices, believe in themselves, and understand the importance of hard work, discipline, teamwork, and personal responsibility.
Camp29 partners with schools and communities to create a safe, encouraging, and motivational environment where students can learn from experienced athletes, mentors, and positive role models. This is a youth football and leadership camp created to give students a positive, high-energy experience that goes far beyond the football field. Led by former NFL player Mark McMillian, Camp 29 uses football to teach students important life skills such as discipline, teamwork, confidence, leadership, respect, and perseverance. The camp is designed for students of all skill levels. No prior football experience is required. The focus is not only on athletic development but also on helping young people believe in themselves, make positive choices, and understand the importance of hard work in both school and life.
