Rams Training Camp at LMU

This summer marks the third consecutive year that LMU is proudly hosting Los Angeles Rams Training Camp presented by CommunityAmerica Credit Union – an exciting continuation of our growing partnership with the Rams organization. We are excited to provide another opportunity for our students to benefit from access to the Rams organization, via dedicated internships and additional yet-to-be-determined academic opportunities.

Hosting Training Camp brings a range of benefits to LMU, including national media exposure, exclusive student internships, and enhanced academic collaborations that align with our strategic vision to extend LMU's reach beyond the bluff. It also allows us to deepen engagement with prospective students, and connect with our alumni, donors, and friends. 

As an NFL training camp host, we are joining a select group of colleges and universities nationally to experience the excitement and energy of hosting a professional sports team. LMU is proud to play a role in creating a memorable fan and guest experience while showcasing our beautiful campus to a wider audience. 

The Los Angeles Rams will return to LMU this summer from July 20 to Aug. 9; Rams Training Camp presented by CommunityAmerica Credit Union will kick off in late July, with the first open practice taking place on Monday, July 27. More details including date and times of open practices and information for fans are posted on therams.com/trainingcamp and lmu.edu/rams.
