Second-round draft pick Jon Bostic chats with kids at a Bears youth football camp Friday in Chicago.
The event was the first in a series of volunteer activities the rookies will support as part of the "Rookie Rally" program, which was created by the Bears' community relations department to involve the team's first-year players in charitable activities throughout the season.  

The Rookie Rally program helps the rookies learn more about their new community, connect with children and families throughout the Chicago area, serve worthwhile charitable organizations in the area, and bond as a group through volunteerism.

Chicago Bears youth football camps are the official youth camps of the Chicago Bears. Children between the ages of 6-14 learn to run, throw, catch, defend, form block, form tackle and explode out of a stance with proper technique and improved speed.  

The week-long camps provide safe, non-contact football instruction and athletic development as well as instruction about good nutrition, proper hydration, and rest and recovery. Camps are led by professional educators with supplemental instruction from former Bears players. For more information or to register, visit BearsCamps.com or call (312) 226-7776.
