(GREEN BAY PACKERS) – Packers Training Camp, presented by UW Health Kids, begins on Wednesday, July 29, and fans are invited to join the team at practice and enjoy a variety of activities to celebrate the return of football.
Ahead of the first practice at 10:30 a.m. on July 29, the Packers and American Family Insurance will open DreamDrive, returning for its 13th year. Kids are invited to take part in the storied bike tradition by bringing their bikes to each open practice day and offering Packers players a ride from Lambeau Field to Ray Nitschke Field.
All practice attendees are asked to adhere to the team’s policy prohibiting capturing videos and still photos of practice from the stands during designated periods of practice.
