As we begin year 33, I can honestly say that Champion has everything you

could possibly need to get your team to a new playing field. We have vowed

to constantly help you evolve in this sport. So we dig deeper, think bigger and stretch more each year to produce camp programs that

compare to none! You deserve that; camp should be a place where you know

you’ll get the best for your team. A fresh start from an established source;

allowing you the assurance that you will start strong but finish stronger!

See for yourself why the Best teams choose Champion. Join us this

summer and let us help you PUSH THE LIMITS with your team.

This camp is designed for those who want the basics combined with a few challenges and is offered to all teams, all levels. As with all our camps, we instruct in detail the necessary tips for success in cheers, j u m p s , s t u n t s , pyramids, tumbling, precision and more. We provide you with all you’ll need to create visual, game and comp et i t i ve

material thus achieving the edgy look Champion teams are known for.

MIDDLE SCHOOL TEAMS We know you are the future and therefore we train you accordingly. Your own staff is prepared to work with you within the parameters of MHSAA, while preparing you for high school cheerleading. This camp promises to be a strong beginning for our young athletes!

Every varsity team wants to experience Champion’s Beast Camp! It is THE camp that provides your team with power training and allows you to push your limits. This camp goes beyond the basics and into the fine tuning of competing and successful game cheering.

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.

Will we see you at Beast Elite? (All teams must qualify to register for this camp. Teams who receive 95% of the top team’s score in their respective regional are eligible.)

Allows you the opportunity each day to work independently with your team!

Not only does this provide fundamental learning, it’s also a great way to chart your team’s progress in all areas of cheer!

We believe that purposeful learning is accomplished when hard work is acknowledged. We love recognizing those teams who give extra effort at each station.

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.

CAMP IS NOT “JUST CAMP” WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE IT AT CHAMPION!Camp is not “just camp” when you experience it at Champion

PrideWe enter into our 28th 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.

Team TimeBuddy TimeOur 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.

CandlelightOn 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 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!

Spirit Day

ParadeThere’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!

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!

Give Back 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 2018 we joined efforts with Haven; an organization that provides shelter and care for those who have been abused. It was incredible to see our teams contribute in such a large way, recognizing those who have been through really tough times. We look forward to seeing our athletes step up again this summer in finding ways to help others.
