Super Bowl superstar Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks will bring his fling to the North Shore for a Russell Wilson Passing Academy skills camp July 5 at Ambleside Park.

The camp is for boys of all positions, age 9-17. Wilson will serve as the camp's "head coach," according to a press release, working directly with participants.

"I've spent a couple days in Vancouver, B.C., and I absolutely love the city," said Wilson in the release. "I want to share my story and message with as many kids as I can, and Vancouver is a perfect city to have on our camp tour."

Wilson earned the starting quarterback job with the Seahawks in his rookie season in 2012 and since then has gone 28-9 in regular season and playoff action, leading the team to a Super Bowl win over the Denver Broncos in February.

The cost of the camp, running from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. July 5 and including lunch, is $175. For more information visit thepassacademy.com.

The camp will be run in conjunction with the Seahawks 12 Tour coming to the Vancouver area July 4-6.
