Yellowjacket Cheer Camp in Full Swing with Record Attendance (August 13, 2003)

BILLINGS, MT – That noise Billings residents are hearing reverberating off the rims this week is the sound of over 250 cheerleaders attending the MSU Billings Cheer Camp.  The Yellowjacket Cheer Team and head coach Dani Ruoff are hosting the largest cheer camp in the state this week, with up to 315 participants scheduled to attend.

The Yellowjacket Cheer Camp is a four-day high school cheer and stunt camp that runs through Saturday with campers either participating all week or just on Friday and Saturday.  The camp opened Wednesday morning with 261 cheerleaders from around the region checking in at Alterowitz Gymnasium.  By this weekend, Ruoff expects the number of participants to reach 315, making it the largest camp of its kind in Montana.  In addition to the cheerleaders, there will be 41 high school cheer coaches involved, plus nationally known cheer coach L.A. Anderson.

“We’re just really pleased with how this camp has grown,” said Ruoff who has been the Yellowjacket cheer coach since 1997.  “It’s exciting for our team because we have worked so hard to establish our program and this camp.  I think it says a lot about our kids and the program overall that this has become the biggest camp in the state.”

Most of the camp’s practice sessions will take place on the lawns surrounding McMullen Hall.  Wednesday’s and Thursday’s sessions will run from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.  On Friday the practice session will run from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. with a performance at Montana Fair at noon.  Saturday morning’s session will be a three hour stunting clinic from 9:00 a.m. to noon, followed by a cheer-off at Rimrock Mall at 3:30 p.m.
