The History of Packers Training Camps

Join us for a special evening with Green Bay Packers team historian Cliff Christl as he shares the story of Packers training camps through the years—with a spotlight on the seasons from 1954 to 1957, when the team trained right here in Stevens Point.

Christl, the official historian of the Packers and author of numerous books on the team’s rich legacy, will explore how training camp evolved and how Stevens Point played a unique role in Packers history. The program will include rare stories, historical context, and a post-presentation Q&A with one of the foremost experts on Wisconsin’s most beloved team.
