NATCHEZ — Former Kansas City Chiefs guard Will Shields and NFL friends will host a two-day all-metro football camp for children grades seven through 12 May 3 and 4 at Cathedral School.

The camp will be divided into three sessions, with the first session taking place between 6 to 8 p.m. May 3. Two more sessions will take place from 9 to 11 a.m. and 1 to 3 p.m. May 4. There will be a lunch break between the May 4 sessions.
