Over 800 young athletes are set to participate in Jim Kelly’s 37th annual youth football camp at Highmark Stadium, providing a unique opportunity for children aged 8 to 13 to train on the same field as the Buffalo Bills. This year, the camp will host two three-day sessions, with the first session starting on Monday already sold out, while a limited number of spots remain for the second session beginning on Friday.
Jim Kelly, the former Bills quarterback and camp organizer, emphasizes that the focus of the camp extends beyond just football skills. He aims to help children develop character, learn important life lessons, and build friendships that can last a lifetime. In his own words, Kelly expressed his excitement for the camp and his appreciation for the Bills organization, describing it as “truly humbling” to have over 800 kids participating.
The camp provides an enriching experience, where Kelly enforces the idea that enjoyment and growth—both as individuals and players—are key takeaways. Parents and children alike can expect a welcoming atmosphere filled with learning, camaraderie, and fun.

This initiative highlights the positive impact of sports programs on youth development, promoting not just athletic prowess but also personal growth and lasting relationships. Such engaging experiences can inspire young athletes to pursue their passions both on and off the field.
