The Chicago Bears Training Camp takes place on the campus of Olivet Nazarene University. It is typically three weeks long and fans have a wonderful opportunity to see the team FREE of charge!

This family friendly daily event is geared towards Bear fans of all ages.
With the exception of concessions, everything is still free to the public — free admission and free parking. Only note that to maintain a family-friendly atmosphere, alcohol and smoking are not permitted on the campus.
