The Walter Camp Football Foundation (WCFF) is one of the organizations whose College Football All-America Team is recognized by the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The organization also presents various awards. It is named in honor of football pioneer Walter Camp.
History Walter Camp, known as "The Father of American football", first chose an All-America team in 1889. It is rumored that Camp selected the first several All-America teams by himself.
The Walter Camp Football Foundation (WCFF) was formed in 1967 to continue Camp's legacy of selecting All-America teams and to perpetuate the ideals and work of Camp on and off the field. In 1998, the WCFF began naming an All-America second team.
The "Walter Camp Weekend" is held each January in New Haven, Connecticut, featuring a series of events designed to highlight current and former players and engage them with the local community. The weekend's signature event, the National Awards Dinner, recognizes the Walter Camp All-America team, as well as the Player of the Year, the Coach of the Year, and other honorees.
