Lake Forest College is a coeducational undergraduate institution located just 30 miles north of Chicago in the small city of Lake Forest, Illinois. One of the most beautiful suburbs on Chicago’s North Shore, Lake Forest provides a secure, supportive environment for the College. The beautiful 107-acre campus sits just a few blocks from Lake Michigan and is within walking distance of the train station and the shops, cafés, and restaurants of downtown Lake Forest.
Directing the program this summer is Head Football Coach at Lake Forest College, Brent Becker. In his first five seasons with the program, Lake Forest posted a combined record of 29-21 
and placed as high as third in the Midwest Conference twice. Prior to coming to Lake Forest, Becker served as an assistant coach at Knox College(1998), Greenville College(1999-00), and Saginaw Valley State University(2001-02). In seven years as an assistant coach his teams had a combined record of 52-24 and did not suffer a losing season.
Each athlete is encouraged to develop new skills and achieve a new level of play and self-confidence. Campers work on conditioning, fundamentals and technique at individual positions, plus offensive and defensive team play.
Special team play and scrimmaging is also a big part of our programs. All phases of down-field coverages, wedge busting, tackling, blocking for punts, field goals, extra points, holding, kick-off, and kick receiving is covered. And after working hard all week, both individually and as a team, the
final day 'live' scrimmage is the highlight of camp. Campers are divided into teams by age, weight, size and ability. Using light and dark jerseys, teams scrimmage as parents, friends and the entire camp staff cheers them on. Every camper plays at least one-half of our scrimmage.
