Former North Dakota State University lineman Cordell Volson is back in Harvey, North Dakota, for the fourth edition of his Small Towns Big Dreams football camp, a program that has drawn nearly 500 youngsters each summer since its inception before his rookie NFL season.
A Camp That Grows With Each Season
The camp, now a staple of the small town's summer calendar, offers more than just drills; it provides mentorship, exposure to college-level talent, and a chance for participants to dream big on the gridiron.
Volson missed the previous camp after a preseason injury, but the setback has not slowed his momentum. Earlier this week he inked a one‑year contract with the Tennessee Titans, signaling a fresh chapter in his professional journey.
Adding to the camp's prestige, several current and former Bison players have volunteered as coaches, sharing insights from their own collegiate and professional experiences with the next generation of athletes.
Local organizers say the event does more than sharpen football skills; it reinforces community ties and showcases the potential of small‑town initiatives to attract statewide attention.
With the camp in full swing, volunteers and participants alike celebrate a tradition that blends athletic development with the spirit of hometown pride.
