The Gold Beach Football Team Camp provides high school football coaching staffs and teams with the most challenging, affordable, exciting, and fun filled atmosphere for developing skills, camaraderie, and team building in a unparalleled natural setting with outstanding facilities and professional staff.  Teams that have attended our camp have posted incredible won - loss records.  According to coaches who have attended camp, their teams have accomplished many of the objectives and goals necessary to develop that championship edge.  Each year the camp greets teams who have won League Championships, advanced to regional, sectional or state championships.  Your team will develop and compete with the best competition at any level.  Teams who have attended camp have come from Oregon, Washington, Idaho, California, Canada, and the United Kingdom and from enrollments of 95 to 3,000 student/athletes.  Most of the teams who attend camp have done so for a number of years.  We have had inquires from throughout the United States and teams from Nevada, Connecticut Texas, South Carolina, Florida and Pennsylvania have show interest in attending recent camps.  Additionally we have had inquires from Denmark, Spain, Germany, Lithuania, Japan, and the Island Nation of Tonga.  The high caliber of football and the controlled nature of the camp afford coaches and their teams a unique opportunity to enhance their programs and prepare for their upcoming season.

The Gold Beach Football Team Camp features extensive practice time an facilities for your coaching staff to prepare for the upcoming season.  Each coaching staff is in complete control of what their team does each of the five (5) days of camp.  The camp also features an extensive Pass and Linemen League competition based on school enrollment and experience.  Individual and team speed, agility, and strength competitions provide an excellent venue for the student/athlete to test himself against other high school student/athletes.   The Gold Beach Football Team Camp is a full contact camp which features partnered practices, our famous "Best on the Beach" Scrimmage-A-Thon and opportunities to scrimmage other teams based on enrollment and experience under the professional supervision of camp staff.  Each student/athlete is provided with a camp T-shirt and there are numerous awards and recognition for teams and individual student/athletes.

Due to the unprecedented demand for participation in the Gold Beach Football Team Camp , we will be offering two (2) or three (3) camp sessions in 2009 with each session limited to a yet to be determined number of teams.  Please let us know as soon as possible if your are interested in participating in the 2009 camp.  We will list your team in the order (date) of your contact.  We are in the process of changing our enrollment procedures.  We will announce them ASAP, in the meantime, please feel free to contact Coach Kevin Swift for information concerning the 2009 Gold Beach Football Team Camp.

It is important that all teams recognize that The Annual Gold Beach Football Team Camp adheres to  both the spirit and the letter of all OSAA guidelines, procedures and rules governing Oregon High School Football, the National Federation of High School Associations along with the NCAA's guidelines and recommendations.
