Green Bay, Wis. (WFRV) - A Packers youth football camp took place at Danz Elementary in Green Bay.
Thursday kids could test their football skills in various drills and obstacle courses.
There are five different stations for catching, throwing and kicking, and of course leaping for a touchdown.
It's all part of the NFL's "Play 60" Campaign which is designed to tackle childhood obesity by getting kids active through in-school, afterschool, and team-based programs.
"One of the first questions we ask is do you know how many minutes you have to play each day and they all say 60," youth football coordinator Tim Schroeder says, "so they know what they are supposed to do, it's just putting it into effect"
Over 300 kids anticipated in the "Play 60" Program.
