Pom Camp 2026

⭐ Routines ⭐

• You will learn three full pom routines and sections of a kickline routine over camp.

• Be ready to work hard, pay attention, and ask questions. We want everyone to be confident!

⭐ Nightlies ⭐

• Every night (Tue–Thu), all teams perform the routines they learned that day in a mini-competition called “Nightlies.” Families are encouraged to attend.

• Nightlies start at 7:15 PM and usually finish around 9:00 PM, but times can vary, and we may run late.

• Nightlies are free of charge for spectators.

⭐ Final Day ⭐

• Friday is a half-day of camp.

• Teams perform their “original” routines.

• Spectator tickets cost $10 and must be purchased online ahead of time.

• Seating is limited and the gym is usually very full on the final day. We recommend families arrive early to get a good seat.

⭐ Judging ⭐

• Performances are scored by camp staff.

• Our team is not judged against other teams. Instead, each performance is scored against a score sheet.

• Certain point ranges rank you in different places. Multiple teams can earn 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place.

• During camp, you will perform at Nightlies (Tue–Thu) and on Final Day (Fri).

💋 Getting Ready 💋

• We will get ready after dinner in the bathrooms.

• You need to be able to quickly get changed, fix hair and makeup, and be ready to go so we have time to practice our routine before performing.

• Be prepared to get ready FAST!

🎀 Hair & Makeup Expectations 🎀

• Hair must be in a slicked-back pony with a middle part.

• Bring hair ties, bobby pins, gel/hairspray.
