Wildcat Girls Only Flag Football Camp Set to Make History at Northwestern University

This summer, a first of its kind opportunity is coming to the North Shore as the Wildcat Flag Football Camp takes over Martin Stadium at Northwestern University and local families are taking notice.

Designed exclusively for girls, this high-level camp is built to help athletes of all experience levels develop their skills, build confidence, and prepare for the rapidly growing future of flag football. With the sport gaining national momentum — including NCAA emerging sport status and an Olympic debut on the horizon — there has never been a better time to get involved.

The camp will run July 28–31 from 4:00–8:00 PM at Northwestern’s iconic lakefront stadium and is open to athletes from rising high school freshmen through incoming college freshmen
