Camps!





I've heard of a few different types of cheerleading camps in Michigan, but I've personally have only been to one of them, so I can only speak from experience whether or not the camp was decent. The cheer camp that I went to was called C!M. Which stood for Cheer Michigan. C!M was the cheer program that ran the camp, but the one I participated in was at Lawrence Tech, Southfield. There are a few different locations for cheerleading camps such as:
  • Grand Rapids Aquinas
  • Lawrence Tech, Southfield
  • Eastern Michigan, Ypsilanti
The staff of C!M is extremely nice and helpful. They are filled with energy and patience. Camp is obviously during the summertime. Usually in July, depending on when you signed up to go. At camp there are a lot of different activities to choose from. Usually, you get split up with your team and go to a certain "station" until told to rotate. One station will consist of new cheers and chants to learn. Another station will be focusing on new stunts, along with a dancing station, and maybe even a station that will help perfect jumps or voices.
Camp is generally about 3 days long, and by the end of the 3rd day you perform in front of the whole camp & the parents. Also, the last night you all get together and have a campfire, which is done for the seniors on the team so they have something to remember.
All in all, the C!M staff is extremely helpful. They teach you loads of new stunts, chants/cheers, drills for the season, along with dances, & even games to help bring the team together.
