Additional Summer Camp Information 

What sets ADTS® apart from other companies?
We pride ourselves in being the first in the US to present a team camp, first for an officer camp, first for private camps, and first for custom curriculum.  We continue to uphold our quality through an experienced staff, professional sound equipment, exceptional indoor air conditioned teaching facilities, quality audio and video tapes, and an accomplished office staff that can guide you and meet all of your dance/drill team needs.  Just ask other directors, you will hear that American Dance/Drill Team® represents quality and professionalism in every way.

Most of my team will be new members.  Will technique classes be offered?
Dance and kick technique classes are offered at each camp site. For the beginning dancers, a special introduction to dance technique class will be taught so that learning will be made easier throughout the camp.  Routines are offered on all levels of ability and you have the choice to either keep all team members together or divide to learn more routines.

I want advanced material for my team.  What curriculum should I choose?
Advanced material is offered at each camp.  However, we recommend that you might consider a custom or custom/combo curriculum so that you can choose the style and ability level of you routines.  For your individuals that wish to challenge themselves, we offer Jazz Camp.  These camps cater to individuals and teach stunts, tricks, and advanced technique, in addition to challenging routines for the individual who loves to dance.

Do we have to do a home routine to receive awards at camp?
Teams may elect not to do a Home Routine and still have the chance to earn a Sweepstakes Award by choosing from Parade, Dance, or Marching Evaluation.

Do we have to stay in the dorm on campus or may we stay in a hotel and commute?
Several camp sites offer alternate lodging at a hotel or resort.  In most cases the cost is very close or just above the cost of staying in the dorm.  Why not enjoy the benefits of maid service, pool, TV, private bath, a telephone, and more!

Can my managers attend camp?
YES!  In fact, we offer a special Managers Training Program at select camp sites that provide daily workshops on leadership, organization, first aid skills and motivation.  Managers receive a handbooks, T-shirt, bag, markers, scissors wrap tape, and other useful supplies.  This program will motivate your managers to be a productive and integral part of your team operations.
