The UCA Non-Building Camp Experience

For over 50 years, UCA has been building spirit and training leaders for life! At our Non-Building Camps for squads who don’t build, we have additional cheers, sidelines and dances just for you! Non-Building Camps also offer tumbling classes and additional jump training to pump up the crowd back home on game day.
