Welcome
As we begin year 34, 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.

THE
DIFFERENCE
DETAILED HERE ARE THE MANY REASONS WE
ARE SET APART FROM THE REST...
PRIDE
We enter into our 29th 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/BUDDY TIME
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.
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!
17
CAMP IS NOT “JUST CAMP”
WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE
IT AT CHAMPION!

CANDLELIGHT
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 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 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!
Game Changing! This camp
impacted our whole perspective
on the sport we love!
- L’anse Cresue North
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!
Last year we were happy to work with Operation Christmas
Child and Salvation Army, giving 182 Christmas boxes to
children of all ages and supplying hundreds of toiletry
items. We look forward to seeing our athletes step up again
this summer in finding ways to help others.

THE
STAFF
