REDSKINS ANNOUNCE 2017 TRAINING CAMP ENHANCEMENTS

RICHMOND, Va. – The Washington Redskins announced today a series of new initiatives to enhance the experience for families and fans attending training camp at the Bon Secours Washington Redskins Training Center in Richmond, Va. Among these enhancements are the special themed days at camp, team-hosted offsite events, a partnership with Radio One and events hosted by the Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation.

Admission to camp is free, but this year a new Redskins fan pass/e-ticket is required for entry. Fans should visit www.redskins.com/fanpass to receive their e-ticket for access to camp.

The team will host several themed days during camp:

Between practice sessions, fans will have the opportunity to meet Redskins alumni and cheerleaders at the Legends Showcase, participate in various family-friendly activities and purchase Redskins merchandise at the Redskins Team Store retail tent.

In advance of training camp, the fourth annual River City Golf Classic will be July 25. Fans will have the opportunity to play with Redskins alumni, coaches and personnel such as Redskins Head Coach Jay Gruden, President Bruce Allen, the Voice of the Washington Redskins Larry Michael and Senior VP of Player Personnel Doug Williams. For more information, visit www.RiverCityClassic.com

The Redskins have partnered with Radio One, which will host two stations to broadcast every day of training camp. This allows for local fans to receive more information about training camp from the practice schedules to player interviews and press conferences. Radio One will also provide music for the fan entertainment area.

The Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation will host several on-field activities between practices including Football Fundamentals on the Field for children ages 5 to 17, a Gatorade Junior Training Camp on August 4 for children ages 12 to 14, and a Play60 Character Camp designed to offer children the opportunity to experience the game of football while teaching them the importance of good character on and off the field.

On August 3, the WRCF will host its first Youth Football Day at training camp to encourage teams to join the Redskins and celebrate youth football. The first 1,000 youth football players wearing their team jerseys will receive a special giveaway. The WRCF will also host its annual Mom’s Football Safety Clinic on August 3.

The WRCF will cut the ribbon on a Kerrigan’s Korner at Bon Secours on August 4. This Korner provides games and electronics for children during their hospital stays.

Kids Day at Camp will be August 8, when activities and giveaways will be provided for local youth. For the second year in a row, the WRCF will donate more than $50,000 in new sports equipment to schools and nonprofit partners. The announcement of the recipients will take place on Kids Day.

For the second year in a row, the Redskins have partnered with local hotels, Kings Dominion and the Science Museum of Virginia to provide travel packages for those visiting training camp. Travel packages are offered for a select number of downtown Richmond hotels including the Crowne Plaza, the Richmond Marriott and the Omni Richmond Hotels. Packages include special Redskins 85th anniversary items including t-shirts and HTTR spirit hats. Special offers and discounts to Richmond attractions, restaurants and more can be found online at www.redskins.com/trainingcamp in the coming weeks.

Fans are encouraged to download the Official Washington Redskins mobile app to enhance their training camp experience through access to the interactive map, alerts, chances to win VIP upgrades, discounts and more.
