BLOOMFIELD, NJ — The 12th annual Bloomfield High School Alumni Football Camp took place on Saturday, June 25, at Foley Field.

The free, one-day camp attracted approximately 65 third- to eighth-grade boys and girls who participated in drills and activities in a fun environment under sunny skies while wearing camp T-shirts. The camp’s instructors were former BHS football players from a span of more than 20 years of graduating classes.

This year’s camp was organized and sponsored by William Whitt, a 1996 BHS graduate who also raised money for the camp. 

The camp was founded by Anthony Lambo, another 1996 BHS graduate, who was an all-state lineman and later played at Virginia Tech. 

The camp started in 2011 and has been held at the end of June every year with the exception of 2020, when it was closed due to the pandemic.
