Cheerleading
(Session 1: June 8-13; Session 2: June 15-20)
Parents and Cheerleaders: (ages 8-11, 12-18)
Thank you for considering the Air Force Academy Sports Camp for your summer Cheerleading Clinic. We are very excited about the upcoming camp and would love to see you here. Our goal is to provide individual instruction that is both challenging and rewarding for the campers. Primary attention will focus on cheers and chants, cheer motions, jumps, and dance.
In addition, we will work on basic pyramids and stunting, beginning tumbling and talk about how as cheerleaders we are leaders in our school and community.
We want the campers to enjoy their time with us and will take breaks for discussion topics, games and socializing. The instructional staff strongly believes that FUN is an important ingredient of the camp. This year we will run 2 sessions of camp for Cheerleaders. Session 1 will be entirely devoted for young girls 8-11 & they can choose between Mornings (8:30am-12:30pm) or Afternoons (12:30pm-4:30pm). Camp will be all week -- Monday through Friday for both the Morning & Afternoon campers.
Session 2 will be a typical full camp & will run from 8:30am until 4:30pm for girls, ages 12-18. The last day in session 2 will be a half day from 8:30am-12 noon. By the end of the sessions, everyone is exhausted, but somehow finds the energy to perform for the parents and friends. This performance is the finale of our camp and will showcase a portion of what was taught throughout the week.
If you choose to attend our camp, we ask campers to wear comfortable shorts and t-shirts to class. Cheer specific shoes are recommended, but regular tennis shoes will suffice if cheer shoes are not available. We have rapid weather changes here at the Academy. However, we try to move the classes outside whenever possible. Campers are requested to bring sunscreen lotion to protect against sunburn for all outdoor activities.
Upon checking into the camp, cheerleaders will receive a schedule for the week that identifies the meeting place for each day's class as well as a detailed breakout for how the day will be spent.
We know there are many camps for you to choose from, and we are honored that you are considering ours. We hope to see you this summer and wish you the best of luck in your cheer endeavors!
