DALLAS – The Army & Air Force Exchange Service is teaming with Procter & Gamble and the Defense Commissary Agency to host NFL ProCamps for military children for the fifth year.
NFL ProCamps give military kids the opportunity for tips and hands-on instruction from professionals, including lectures, fundamental football skills stations, contests, and non-contact games in a high-energy, fun, and positive environment. Campers of all skill levels are welcome and will be placed in small groups by age to ensure that each participant gets maximum instruction.
The nine locations won the opportunity to host camps from shoppers purchasing designated P&G products at participating Exchanges and commissaries this year.
“The Exchange is honored to partner with Procter & Gamble and DeCA for the fifth summer,” said Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Kevin Osby, the Exchange’s senior enlisted advisor. “The NFL ProCamps are some of our most exciting events and show the Exchange’s dedication to our youngest heroes.”
The following installations will host this summer’s ProCamps:
- Barksdale AFB, June 17-18, Greedy Williams (Cornerback, Philadelphia Eagles)
- Nellis AFB, June 24-25, Michael Mayer (Tight end, Las Vegas Raiders)

- Fort Leavenworth, July 14-15, Deuce Vaughn (Running back, Dallas Cowboys)
- McChord AFB, July 18-19, Dre’Mont Jones (Defensive end, Seattle Seahawks)
Each camp is open to military children in first through eighth grades, including dependents of active-duty service members, retirees and Department of Defense civilians. The camps are open to the first 150 participants who register. Registration information will be provided by each installation.
All participants will take home an autograph card, camp T-shirt, water bottle and P&G samples. Lunch will be provided for free each day after camp, along with complimentary water and snacks throughout the event.
