Cheerleaders to host camp July 27-29

By Lynsi Musselman

“Two bits, four bits, six bits a dollar” and other cheers will be heard  from Albany Bank Park when the Albany Cubs Cheer Camp 2020 gets underway next week.

Camp will be held Monday, July 27 through Wednesday, July 29, 8:30 to 10:00 a.m.

Parents of girls three years old through sixth grade can register their daughters starting now through the first day of camp.

Junior high, junior varsity, and varsity cheerleaders will instruct the campers on basic cheerleading skills and dance routines.

The participants will be invited to perform what they learn at the Albany Athletic Booster Club’s annual hamburger supper on Monday, Aug. 10.

Cheerleading sponsor Audrey Faith said campers will be divided by age groups, and with the camp being held outside instead of the gym this year, spreading out should not be a problem. 

Faith added that in addition to learning cheer basics, the campers will have the opportunity on the last day of camp to purchase previous years’ cheer gear.

Cost for cheer camp is $25, with each additional sibling being $15.

Faith said if camp is cancelled due to -COVID-19, a refund of $15 will be given upon request.

Registration forms are available at the Albany AISD administration office Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Campers should bring individual water bottles to camp each day.
