Chicago Bears Hosting Non-Contact Football Camps

Bob Bong, Neighbor

As an alternative to tackle football camps, the Chicago Bears are hosting safe, non-contact football camps in 27 local communities this summer.

The goal is to introduce kids 6-14 to football as well as develop experienced players. Professional coaches and former Chicago Bears players provide the instruction.

The camps are directed by Tom Finks, a Wilmette native and son of former Chicago Bears GM and NFL Hall-of-Famer Jim Finks.

Camps cost $389 per player.
