Only a few weeks left until the Camp In For Kids' Cancer being held on May 18-19! We can tell you how fun this event is and all about the exclusive access to the field, players and the stadium that guests receive by attending, but our buddy Nicholas Pennock, a "camper" for the past two years, sums up the experience better than we ever could. Check out Nicholas' blog below and get your tickets! Spend the night with us at Lincoln Financial Field or if you can't sleepover, a dinner ticket ($50) grants you access to the event from 6-9pm on May 18. Additionally, if you decide to fundraise, you have the opportunity to sleep on the actual field. All proceeds benefit Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.

My experience at the Camp-In For Kids' Cancer event was amazing.
When we arrived, we registered and met many other campers. Then we were told where our tent was, it was on the field! This was because we had raised lots of money. We set up our tents and put our things inside. Then the fun began.

My experience at the Camp-In For Kids' Cancer event was amazing.
When we arrived, we registered and met many other campers. Then we were told where our tent was, it was on the field! This was because we had raised lots of money. We set up our tents and put our things inside. Then the fun began.
Many activities took place on the field, as well as inside the complex. There was a field goal kick, relay races and story telling. Also, there was a movie, a bouncy slide and much more. I found out I am not good at kicking field goals, but I love relay races. One of my favorite things was running through the blow-up Eagle on the entrance to the field - the same way the players come out on game day! 
The Eagles staff and Alex's family do a great job running this event. I met them and many of the other teams such as "Roc-ade," the team who beat us and came in first place both years (in the fundraising contest). Also, we met the players and cheerleaders. My favorite person to meet was "Swoop," the Eagles mascot. We ate an amazing dinner of hot dogs and hamburgers. Then settled down to watch "RV" and ate popcorn, the movie was very funny. We were in bed by 11:00. I slept well after all the playing.
Waking up in the stadium was a lot of fun. The breakfast was very tasty. I had sausage, a muffin, lemonade and then seconds! Then we ran through the little obstacle course in the corner.Before we left, we played on the field again. Also, we got to play on a bounce slide, and then it was time to go. We packed up and left.
I believe the most important part of all of this is the cause. This is because we do this to find a cure. We do this to help kids with cancer, and to remember Alex.
