Some of the best ideas we've seen:
Registration and Promotion:
- Leverage the SuccessFund registration form and promote the mini cheer camp through various channels such as the school website, social media platforms, flyers distributed in the community (use SuccessFund's auto-generated flyers to make this easy. or simply use the QR code from the share tab and add it to your own flyer), and announcements at local elementary schools.
- Offer early bird registration discounts to incentivize early sign-ups.
Customized Curriculum:
- Develop a tailored curriculum for the mini cheer camp based on the age and skill level of the participants.
- Include a mix of basic cheerleading skills, chants, dances, and stunts, ensuring a fun and engaging experience for all attendees.
- Make sure your primary focus is the dance that the girls will be performing at one of the school events (football or basketball game)
Participant Engagement:
- Incorporate interactive activities, games, and team-building exercises to keep participants engaged and excited throughout the camp.
- Assign high school cheerleaders as mentors to small groups of attendees, providing personalized instruction, and support.
Cheerleading Demonstrations:
- Organize demonstrations where the high school cheerleading team showcases their skills and routines to inspire and motivate the participants.
Halftime Performance Opportunity:
- Involve all the participants in a performance of their dance routine they've learned at halftime of a football game, boosting their confidence and sense of accomplishment.
- Coordinate with the school's athletic department to schedule the halftime performance and ensure logistical support.
Camp Merchandise and Keepsakes:
- Create custom camp merchandise such as t-shirts, bows, or pom-poms that participants can go home with as souvenirs or to wear during the halftime performance.
- Provide each participant with a certificate of participation or a personalized keepsake to commemorate their time at the camp.
Community Outreach:
- Reach out to local businesses, community centers, and elementary schools to promote the mini cheer camp and encourage participation from girls in the community.
Feedback and Follow-Up:
- Collect feedback from participants and their parents after the camp to evaluate the overall experience and identify areas for improvement.
- Follow up with participants through email or social media to thank them for attending, share photos or videos from the camp, and provide information about future cheerleading opportunities or events.
