Saratoga spirit to host camp for kids

The Saratoga High School spirit squad will be hosting a Pee Wee Camp from Sept. 28 to 30 for girls ages 6 to 12 who are interested in cheerleading. Participants will attend a three-day camp where they'll learn the basics of cheerleading, said spirit squad parent volunteer Jackie Kraus. Then, on Oct. 3, the girls will perform a half-time routine at Los Gatos' Helm Field during the varsity game between Saratoga and Fremont high schools, which starts at 7:30 p.m.

The camp is $65, and includes a T-shirt and pompoms. Space is limited.

Kraus said this is the spirit squad's largest fundraiser, and the proceeds help pay for uniforms and costs the squad incurs throughout the year.

Registration will take place from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Sept. 18 in the Saratoga High School gym.
