If you can’t come to us... we’ll come to you!
No one should miss out on the Champion
experience! During our one or two day camp
at your school, we will design our program to
meet your exact needs. No two private camps
are alike, each one is a custom fit. But as
always, the material you receive will be the
best anywhere, taught by a staff that compares
to none! Want additional staff to work with your team?
Call our office to schedule your camp and discuss your
options.

COACHING
Each team is assigned a
Staff Member to be their
“Private Coach.” This fresh set
of eyes and perspective will
give tips to help improve,
build confidence and
create positive results
while at camp.
We believe that purposeful
learning is accomplished
when hard work is
acknowledged. We love
recognizing those teams who
give extra effort
at each station.

Camp is not“ just camp”when you experience it at Champion!
Detailed below are the many reasons we are set apart from the rest...
Pride
We enter into our 26th year of incorporating a
special program that allows us to touch on significant
issues kids are facing today. We share this time with
“Pride” - a National Champion group of high school
students who take a strong stand against substance
abuse, bullying, violence and more; communicating
their message through music and skits.

Our daily schedule of Team Time
provides you with the opportunity to go
a little deeper with each other. A time
when the focus is just YOUR TEAM! You
will also spend time with another team
while at camp… your “Buddy Team.”
This will allow you the opportunity to
get “up close and personal” with other
athletes in our sport.
On the last night of camp our staff shares
inspirational stories and real-life experiences
in a way that will help you and your team put
everything in PERSPECTIVE. It allows all of us
A M ANDA ISENGA,
H U D S O N V I L L E VA R S I T Y
to see the big picture as we grow through the
challenges and experiences of life. Ending with
a “Promise Circle”, each team leaves feeling
closer to their coach and teammates and empowered for the season ahead!
Cheerlympics
We’re not all work and no play…Your team will “compete” in various “Cheerlympic
Games” for recognition at the medal ceremony! Gold, Silver, Bronze or just the plain
fun of teamwork makes this a favorite of Champion teams!

Spirit Day Parade
There’s nothing like School Spirit and as cheerleaders you set the tone! We believe camp is the best place to
explore your capacity to bring this excitement to your school and community! You’ll love the FUN of the Spirit
Day Parade!

PROGRAM
Leadership is an essential part of
cheerleading and is demonstrated not only
in our schools but communities as well.
A great leader must be able to take their
eyes off themselves in order to see the needs
of others. We believe that teaching young
people the importance of this is vital to our
future. Therefore, each year we incorporate
a program which allows them to impact the
lives of others through service. Utilizing this
sport to make a difference is one of the best
parts of camp!
In 2015 we joined forces with “GANG UP
FOR GOOD” and painted our pinkies
blue to help stomp out bullying.
We appreciate the feedback from many
of our teams who took this campaign
back to their school to help fight this
damaging behavior. We look forward
to working with our teams this year for
“TROOPS NEED LOVE TOO”.
