Legends Stadium in Kalispell was the place to be for youth football players Saturday as the Brock Osweiler football camp took place in collaboration with the Flathead Braves football program.

Grades 4-8 met in the morning from 9:30 a.m. until noon and grades 9-12 closed things out with their camp from 2:30 p.m. through 5 p.m.

“It’s incredible, I think this morning we had a little over 100 kids, 4th through 8th grade, and now we got these high school kids grinding this afternoon,” Flathead alum and former NFL quarterback Brock Osweiler said. “Kids really want to get better, they’re eager to learn, you can tell they brought a great attitude with high energy and it’s just so fun being back here where I grew up, these camps meant the world to me. Some of my best memories growing up in Kalispell were coming to Flathead Braves camps.”

Flathead football coach Caleb Aland credited Osweiler and the Flathead Braves football community with helping bring the camp to life and showing support.

“It’s cool to see the type of love this community has for a guy after 15 years… We’re appreciative of all the support,” said Aland.
