2025 High School Camp Booklet by Just For Kix

Welcome ! Welcome !

DEAR COACHES AND DANCERS,

Just For Kix is so proud of our PRODUCT. Our camps are second to none. We are proud of the fact that if a team tries our camp, they come back! They love our attention to detail, caring staff, and fantastic choreography.

We spend the year finding new ideas, techniques, and methods for teams to implement into their training. Where else can coaches train at the level we offer, while their athletes are training at a high level too?

It is with excitement that we invite you to our 2025 summer camps where we will share our love for dance, pom, and drill teams.

Your team will BOND, have FUN, TRAIN hard, INSPIRE others, be INSPIRED by others, learn to COMMIT, and learn THEY CAN DO IT.

Because I love what I do. It is my passion. I love to share what I have learned over the years. It gives me great joy to mentor others!

Cindy Clough Executive Director & Founder Just For Kix

“I LOVE CAMP SO MUCH - I’m so sad this is my last camp ever. The past 4 years have actually been some of my favorite memories with my team and I always know when I’m coming to camp that I’m going to have the best week!”

- Kenzie Henderson

High School Dancer, Blaine, MN

“I’ve been to a lot of camps, conventions, etc. and this was hands down, the best for both dancers and coaches. Incredible choreography, excellent instructors, amazing attention to detail in private coaching. The coaching sessions were top notch - I learned so much and was so re-energized and ready to incorporate all the new ideas and inspiration! Overall, just an amazing experience for all of us.”

- Coach Kim Hoff
