Testimonials from Camp

"'I found the staff to be approachable, enthusiastic, GREAT with the kids, and very hard working. It was SUCH a pleasant, non-stressful week, and my little girls had a big time AND learned a lot. I love that this location is in the heart of Gatlinburg, offers a trolley you can take into town for some fun team bonding activities, and has exceptional and kind staff! My youngest girls enjoyed taking the trolley to get some ice cream and do a little shopping!'" Coach WheelerGrassland Middle School
"'We absolutely love coming to camp. This was my second year coming as a coach and many times as an athlete. The UCA staff is incredible, communication is top notch, and the facility is a plus! Christian is a great head instructor, and my team was thrilled when we found out we had him again this year. We can’t wait to come back next year!'" Coach FieldsBledsoe County High School
"'The UCA staff and Varsity Red Shirts were absolutely fantastic. This was the best cheer camp we have been too.'" Coach WolfGordonsville High School
"'Christian was by far the best Head Instructor we’ve experienced at UCA Camp!! Our girls were really struggling, & he stepped in to troubleshoot & really encouraged & uplifted them. They were then able to overcome & move on. I think Christian’s leadership set the tone for the rest of the staff. They were ALL very encouraging, enthusiastic, & personal towards our girls. This is BY FAR the best camp experience we’ve had!'" Coach RichardsonLivingston Academy
