Summer Spirit Camps

2025 Traditional Summer Cheer Camps

2025 Summer Dance Camps

KSHSAA Summer Spirit Camps are the only camps where member school spirit squads are covered by the KSHSAA catastrophic insurance.

Schools must send qualified adults who are serving as coaches or chaperons with their students to camps. These individuals will be responsible for their students. Each day a special teaching session for coaches and advisors will be conducted by UCA/UDA personnel.

Application Forms
Application forms are available behind the school login on the KSHSAA website under Activities>Spirit. See your Athletic Director for School ID and coach’s password if you don’t know it. Email the appropriate form (Summer Cheer or Dance Camp Application Form) to kwilhelm@kshsaa.org on or before May 1. Some camp spots may fill before May 1. We will take registrations after May 1 if there are still spots available in a camp.

Payments/Roster of Delegates Forms
School athletic directors will be invoiced for the camp total once the Summer Cheer or Dance Camp Roster of Delegates form is received. These forms are also available behind the school login on the KSHSAA website under Activities>Spirit. Please email completed Roster of Delegates forms to kwilhelm@kshsaa.org. We would like to have this form by May 1 so schools can get invoiced before breaking for the summer. Our preference is to receive full payment at least two weeks before the start of your camp.

Detailed information will be mailed to coaches regarding registration, daily schedule, health cards and campus information in early/mid-May.

Spirit Safety Meetings are Required
Spirit safety meetings for head spirit coaches/advisors (grades 7-12) will be conducted at all KSHSAA Summer Cheer/Dance Camps and all fall Spirit Spreader Clinics (click on the "Spirit Spreader Clinics" link to the right to find out dates and sites of fall Spirit Spreaders). All head cheer/dance high school and junior high coaches are required to attend a spirit safety meeting in person or online. The online rules meeting and exam will be available from August 18 to October 3. Any head sponsor that does not complete the rules meeting and exam by October 3 will be fined $200.
