The Los Angeles Rams will hold a minicamp in Maui, Hawaii, in June to promote tourism in a community ravaged by multiple wildfires over the last two years, the organization said Wednesday.
“Mauicamp” will feature two days of on-field workouts at War Memorial Stadium in Wailuku, Hawaii’s second-largest island, and will run from Monday, June 16, through Thursday, June 19.
After the team finishes its on-field activities Tuesday, the camp will host football clinics for both boys and girls.
There are additional plans for a vacation sweepstakes and a field day for local children. Rams players will also help build four Habitat for Humanity homes in Lahaina, a historic town destroyed by wildfires in 2023.
“This partnership builds on the Rams’ recent efforts to more deeply connect with fans in Hawai‘i, including broadcasting preseason games across the Hawaiian Islands since 2018 and hosting a preseason game at Aloha Stadium in Honolulu in August 2019,” the Hawai‘i Tourism Authority said in a statement announcing the event.
People must receive an invite to attend the June 17 workout, but the one the following day will be free and open to the public. Tickets are required.
The August 2023 wildfires killed 102 people, putting it among the nation’s deadliest wildfires of the last century. The Environmental Protection Agency said about 2,200 structures burned in the fire.
This isn’t the first time the Rams have moved an event to help a community devastated by wildfires. Earlier this year, the team held their 2025 draft operations at a Los Angeles Fire Department Air Operations hangar in Van Nuys, California, in the aftermath of the Palisades and Eaton fires that devastated the region this winter.
“Drafting from LAFD Air Operations is a powerful reminder of what it means to represent Los Angeles,” Rams president Kevin Demoff said when the move was announced in April. “Since the wildfires devastated our region in January, we have looked to bring LA together to help with the recovery efforts, raise the spirits of those impacted, and shine a light on our first responders.
“We are humbled to partner with LAFD during one of the NFL’s biggest moments to express gratitude for those who risk their lives daily to protect our city.”
