Program Overview

Camp29 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.

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.

Purpose of Camp29

The purpose of Camp 29 is to inspire and uplift youth through sports, mentorship, and character-building. Football is used as the foundation, but the true mission is to help students grow as individuals. Through drills, team activities, motivational talks, and interactions with mentors, students are encouraged to build confidence, listen, lead, support one another, and push through challenges. Camp 29 gives students the opportunity to connect with adults who have achieved success through dedication, discipline, and resilience — and who want to help young people understand that they are capable of doing the same.

More Than Football

Camp29 is not just about football. It is about teaching young people how to show up for themselves, their teammates, their families, and their future. The lessons learned through sports often carry into every area of life. Students learn that success takes effort, practice, patience, and accountability. They also learn that attitude, respect, and teamwork matter just as much as talent. Camp 29 helps students understand that they do not have to be the biggest, fastest, or most experienced to succeed. They need heart, focus, discipline, and the willingness to keep going.

Who Can Participate

Camp29 can be designed for different age groups depending on the school or district’s needs. The camp may include elementary, middle school, and high school students, with age-appropriate activities for each group.

The program can also be structured into separate sessions, such as:

• Youth session for younger students

• Middle school session

• High school athlete development session

• Leadership and mentorship session

• Parent and community engagement opportunity
