I'm curious as to how everyone does their youth camps (grades K-6). In my area the traditional model is to have the kids do a station for every position/skill. For example on an offensive day the stations may be throwing, route running, blocking, running back drills, and normally some sort of special team. Then we have them play what we call Warrior Ball (shockingly we're the Warriors) which is basically Ultimate Football. Does anyone run theirs any different?
Also, what's something you've done that's helped your camp? I'm thinking anything here, from giving the kids popsicles to specific drills.
Thanks in advance

We rotate them through offense and defense positions, have relay races, and skills challenges. We try to make everything fun because at that age we just want to keep them out for football. We play razzle-dazzle too.
One thing that really helps is our older players are there and they play with the kids.

A few years ago we set up two flag football fields on our game field and played night games under the lights. Kids really enjoyed it.

I knew a guy who did it two separate nights over the summer, both on a Friday. Charge less than you would for a several day camp, make sure the kids get a shirt, and the parents are glad to have a might on their own.
Do some offense, defense and special teams, and then all sorts of competition things. Turn the lights on, have music playing.
If we were going to do one this year, that would have been the route we went.
