Any high school freshman, sophomore, junior or senior who wants to take their O-D line skills the next level. Whether you’re looking to make the first team varsity squad or you want to make an impression on college recruiters, Trench Camp is for you.
What do I need to bring to camp?
Campers should bring their own helmets, shoes, shells (shells are only needed for the Portland camp since it is a full contact camp) and mouthpiece. The camp will not be offering any type of rental equipment so it is mandatory that you supply your own. If you do not have the above items you will not be able to participate in Trench Camp. It is also a good idea to bring water, snacks and sunscreen.
Will Trench Camp provide lunch?
All campers will be required to bring their own lunch on Friday and Saturday. We will continue to provide water and Gatorade for all meals and breaks.
Will this be a full contact camp?
Yes, our Salem, OR camp will be a full contact camp so helmets and pads are required.
