GREEN BAY, Wis. (WFRV) - The heat isn't keeping kids from having some good old fashion fun on the gridiron.
The Green Bay Packers Youth Football Camp has been going on all week.
More than 100 kids from all over the country are fine tuning their skills at City Stadium -- a historic landmark for Packers fans.
The heat has affected the kids, but coaches are working hard to keep them cool by running them under the sprinkler and passing out lots of water to keep them hydrated.
Keith VandenHeuvel is the Green Bay Packers Youth Football Camp Director. "Its not just enough to drink while you're practicing. You really have to replenish those fluids all day long. In addition to that we have a sprinkler set up we run them under. Its like a day at the water park for these kids."
Yesterday a couple kids did feel nauseous at the end of the day from the heat but were fine once coaches cooled them down .
