Tim Tebow is looking forward to going camping with Mark Sanchez.

The New York Jets backup quarterback accepted an invitation earlier this week to attend Sanchez's ''Jets West'' camp, which is being held for the third straight year at Mission Viejo High School in Southern California. Tebow says Thursday that Sanchez extended the same invitation that he did ''to everyone else on the team,'' and him being there holds no extra significance.

The camp gives the Jets quarterbacks, receivers and running backs a chance to practice extra and get to know each other better for a few days away from the facility. Sanchez says it will take place sometime in July.

Wide receiver Santonio Holmes says he will also attend after not going last year because of the NFL lockout.
