Tampa Bay Lightning Girls To Host 1st Summer Camp

TAMPA, FL – The Tampa Bay Lightning Girls have been a fixture of the franchise since its first season. Now, the hockey team’s cheerleaders and ambassadors will embark on a new challenge: Summer camp counselors.

For the first time in its 25 years, the Lightning Girls will host a summer camp for girls ages 6 to 12 from July 17-21 at Amalie Arena. The camp will focus primarily on dance, fitness and building a healthy lifestyle, along with additional activities.

The Lightning Girls Summer Camp will allow young girls to work alongside members of the Lightning Girls squad at the arena. Campers will participate in dance instruction, arts and crafts, yoga and more. Participants will also have the opportunity for performances, autograph sessions with the Lightning Girls, photo sessions and guest appearances.

Camp hours each day will be 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., with drop-off starting at 8:30 a.m. and pickup ending at 2:30 p.m. Participants will be separated into different age groups.

Registration is $225 per girl beginning Friday, May 26 and will rise to $250 following Thursday, June 1. All campers will receive a Lightning Girls Summer Camp T-shirt, an autograph card signed by the entire Lightning Girls team, pom-poms and boxed lunches each day.

Once registered, parents will receive an e-mail with full details, including daily activities, lunch, pick-up and drop-off procedure as well as waiver information.
