Back to photos of Ben’s hard-working campers:
“We cannot thank you enough for an awesome experience for our daughter and all of the campers! Big Ben spent the entire day, both days, on the fields with the kids. He provided guidance, was very encouraging, and had fun with them. He threw each child a pass…400 kids in attendance! The team coaches were wonderful too! They provided great tips, encouragement, and also lots of fun for the kids. Kudos to the staff and organizers of this camp! The camp was very organized and delivered more than we expected! A big THANK YOU to all for an event well done!
Our daughter Chloe won one of the Camper of the Day awards with her little sister Abigail, who was her biggest cheerleader this weekend. Chloe was really nervous before the camp started. She was worried that she would not be able to keep up with the boys who play football on organized teams. However, thanks to Ben, the coaches, and staff she shined during camp, learned a lot and really had a blast!!!” — Lisa & Mike Booth
“We traveled from Long Island NY, it was well worth the trip. I though the camp was very organized and Ben was great and accessible to the kids.” — Bill DePaul
“Had a blast at our first camp. Thanks for all you do for the kids and K-9s. I work in law enforcement as a civilian and know how special our four legged Officers are to the partners. — Tara Carlisle
“It was greater than usual. Bryce caught a TD pass from Ben in one of his 7-on-7 games. Then, he was selected to help in a drill with Bryce Gradkowski. That was awesome!!” — Steve Bishop
“Here we are again and another Ben Roethlisberger Football Camp has come and gone! But what a weekend! Once again Ben and the ProCamps team put on an exceptional event for the kids. This was our sixth camp and it was as good as every other year has been. Ben is awesome with the kids and again gave of himself by making sure each camper had a chance to catch a pass from him. He was throwing those footballs so fast my camera couldn’t keep up! LOL! The kids all had a blast! The energy level was through the roof! And I had a chance to meet and talk briefly with Ashley, who graciously allowed me to take my picture with her and Baylee! What a special treat that was and Ashley was so sweet! She more than once expressed her appreciation for all the fan support! What a special QB we have in Ben Roethlisberger and what a wonderful family!” — Anita Doddroe
And with that, the 2015 Giant Eagle Ben Roethlisberger Football Camp comes to a close…
