Attending Cheerleading Camps as a Team Makes Them Fun and helps to create Unity

I remember going to cheerleading camp with my high school squad. Our team moms ensured we had matching uniforms, water bottles, and other essentials. We loaded up on a Monday morning, and headed to camp held at a college campus some hours from where we lived. I was all very excited to go to camp, although we actually did not know what to expect. Looking back, camp was really a great experience, and it was worth finding the time to attend.

Prior to at risk of camp, we held a fund raiser to cover the camp tuition by holding our personal miniature day camp for area. We showed them the best way to do cheers, dances, and elementary stunts. Additionally we gave all the participants a shirt for coming. The children loved it. There were a lot of fun at the camp, and that we earned the money we needed to go to our own camp.
There are many advantages for going to cheerleading camp as a squad. First off, we gained a sense of unity as we worked together. We roomed, ate, and practiced together. We decorated spirit sticks and created new cheers of our own. The camp had workshops to show us dances, cheers, and stunts. We learned each others' good and bad points, and helped one another to perfect what we learned.
At the conclusion of the camp, we performed that which you learned in a camp competition. I do not remember anymore how you did, but I can say for certain that we had a large amount of fun and we came home with a few new, exciting routines for pep rallies and games. That is another advantage of cheerleading camps. If the squad goes each year, you will always have trendy dances and cheers to display. Your squad won't lose interest with a limited number of chants.
I think I can speak for the whole squad when I say that by going to a week long training camp, we gained more experience and confidence for cheering. This obviously affected the whole school year and made each of us better cheerleaders.
Camps are likely to be held during the summer. This is a good idea to form your squad some time in the spring so you will have plenty of time to work together and get to know each other before attending a camp to insure you get the most out of your camp experience.
