Training Camp is returning for year three at Steel Hands Brewing.

Presented by Hood Construction, this year’s event will be held on Saturday, August 12. It’ll feature a long list of former South Carolina, Clemson, and other local college football players competing in a series of events. The winners will take home the “Camp Champ” award.

For every craft beer pint sold between 5-8 that night, Steel Hands will be donating a portion of the proceeds to Camp Cole and its mission to create “A Place to Shine” for children, teens and adults facing serious illnesses and other health or life challenges.
