McDonald's will once again be partnering with Roland Williams, former St. Louis Rams Tight End and founder of Youth Lifeline America, along with other current professional NFL players for its annual empowering three-day camp. Approximately 300 kids age 13 - 17 will attend this FREE Football and LifeSkills Camp at Cardinal Ritter College Preparatory High School June 25 - 27, 2010. The camp included elements unlike your typical celebrity football camp.

The camp offers a strong on-field experience, but also focuses on the importance of skills needed to make life a little easier. Students work together in classroom settings to learn about healthy eating habits, the importance of maintaining credit scores, balancing checking accounts and much more. The camp is designed to help students realize that not everyone will go to the NFL, but that everyone will face everyday challenges. The hope of Youth Lifeline America, Roland Williams & McDonald's is to equip every participating student with the skills to handle everyday life challenges.

Successful classroom attitudes are rewarded through participating in on-field activities with NFL players. Last year, Dallas Coyboy Flozell Adams & 16 other active NFL players attended the camp in support of Youth Lifeline America and McDonald's.

HOW TO SIGN UP FOR THE 2010 MCDONALD'S FREE FOOTBALL & LIFESKILLS CAMP: McDonald's Free Football & Life Skills Camp is available to students age 13 to 17.
