Over 150 in attendance in 2007 ~ Expecting more pre-qualified athletes
and greater competition this year!

This 3 day intense competitive camp is held at UW-Whitewater in Whitewater, Wisconsin and provides for a two night stay-over for attendees. At this camp each participant is charted for distance, accuracy, and hang time. The results of this camp are mailed out to every D-I, D-II, and D-1-AA college special teams coaches. Kohl's makes calls and emails coaches on behalf of qualified performers from this camp. For years there have been all-state kickers and punters from numerous states represented at the scholarship camp. In previous seasons over 90% of the participants received all-conference honors. Many past participants from this camp are kicking and punting in college today. This is a good evaluator of the athlete's ability compared to the best athletes at the same position from around the nation.
