Adam Thielen Youth Football Camp

Thielen Foundation Youth Sports Programs offers youth sports activities that include football camps. The program is part of the broader work of the Thielen Foundation, which focuses on youth development through its sports-related efforts. The foundation also provides financial support, sports equipment, and apparel for youth, and all Thielen Foundation store profits help support youth programs.

The Thielen Foundation was founded in the fall of 2018. Its mission states that, with an overarching theme on youth development, the Thielen Foundation aims to create programs that will equip and empower kids to reach their full potential in life. The foundation was formed to give back to the Minnesota community that has given Adam and Caitlin Thielen support both growing up and during Adam’s playing career. In 2020, the foundation developed the #ChangeThruSport program to stand in the gap for underserved youth in the upper Midwest. The Thielen Foundation also focuses on supporting children's mental health.
