A limited number of spots remain for the third annual Notre Dame Football Fantasy Camp, to be held June 29-July 3, 2005, on the Notre Dame campus. The popular event provides a unique experience for participants while serving as a growing revenue source for the Brennan-Boland Riehle Scholarship Fund that benefits sons and daughters of Monogram Club members who attend Notre Dame.
Fans also are invited to Notre Dame Stadium to watch the 2005 fantasy campers in action on the final day of the camp (July 3).
The Fantasy Camp is organized by former Notre Dame quarterback Pat Steenberge and his company Global Football – see www.ndfootballfantasycamp.com for more information.
The 2005 Notre Dame Football Fantasy Camp includes practice sessions on Cartier Field, use of the Notre Dame Stadium locker room, authentic Notre Dame football game and practice apparel and dinners in the Joyce Center Monogram Room and Notre Dame Stadium press box, plus motivational speakers, game videos and action photos.
The 2005 Fantasy Camp will kickoff on June 29 with the participants again hailing from throughout the United States and even internationally. The camp provides a unique insight into the Notre Dame football program. Current and former coaches, as well as star players from years past, will conduct three practice sessions (non-contact) on Cartier Fields, utilizing all the facilities available to the Notre Dame football team.
The campers will utilize the varsity locker rooms inside the Stadium each day and each camper will have his own personalized locker full of authentic practice and game apparel. The coaches will divide the participants into blue and gold squads following practice on Thursday.
On the final day of camp, attendees will follow the traditional pre-game schedule that includes mass, pre-game meal and team meetings in the morning, followed by dressing in the locker room, touching the “Play Like a Champion Today” sign, and running out of the tunnel for a 60-minute flag football game in Notre Dame Stadium. The real-game experience will include a P.A. announcer, scoreboard, officials, photographer, video, etc.
Take-home gifts include: authentic game jersey (you may select your own number if not already taken by 2 participants) and pants, practice jersey, adidas cleats, cap, t-shirt, polo shirt, shorts, apparel bag, game video, team photo, and official Riddell ND Gold Helmet. Campers will receive single-room lodging at the historic Morris Inn on campus.
