#PlanAhead: The Carolina Panthers summer camp starts of July 26 at Wofford College in Spartanburg, and last until August 13.

Since daily practices conclude at noon, you have time to explore downtown Spartanburg.

Here’s a full itinerary of how to make a day out of it (and some highlights below):
7:00 a.m.

Get in the true spirit of training camp and hit some of the area’s hiking, jogging and biking trails.

12 p.m.

Now that practice is over, your stomach soon will be roaring like a Panther for a great lunch, and you can find it in downtown Spartanburg. And the options are impressive.

2:00 p.m.

After lunch, drop by Dottie’s Toffee or Hub City Scoops for some frozen dessert. Then, walk over and play nine holes of free miniature golf at Sparkle City Mini Putt between Main Street and Broad Street.

6:30 p.m.

Venture back downtown to sample the evening fare – Cribbs’ Kitchen for gourmet burgers and specialty items; Renato’s for authentic Italian; Delaney’sfor Irish fare and beer; Lime Leaf for Thai and other Asian offerings; Lemongrass for authentic Vietnamese; or Miyako’s for sushi.

7:30 p.m.

There’s plenty to do downtown as the day comes to a close. Live music on Morgan Square or head to The Peddler for a diverse array of local musicians.
