Betsy and all of the Badgies really inspired us to push ourselves past our comfort zones. There was never a dull moment with the badgies in our hallway, and the purple mustache made our camp unique! We can't wait to see what all of the teams are bringing to Midwest, and to see all of the different routines. Good luck to everyone, and we will see you soon! Thanks, Devon Rudy & Mackenzie Kohlhorst ~ Sophomores, Pinckney Varsity ******************** My camp experience this year is definitely one I will never forget! As an incoming freshman, I was a little nervous about camp because I didn’t really know what to expect. That was a totally different situation once I stepped into the whole atmosphere of the classes and all of the girls that I shared my camp experience with! The Spartanettes and I bonded so much throughout camp and it has made our squad feel that much closer. We all had so much fun learning and performing all of the dances you taught us and I cant wait to come back next year! We will see you all at Midwest and I’m sure it will only get better from here!
First off, I just wanted to say thanks so much for such a wonderful weekend at camp! My girls had such a blast and absolutely love you and your staff! I can't tell you how much we appreciate all your hard work! Thanks again so much for everything you do, and all your help and support at camp. We are super excited about next weekend, and we'll see you then!! ************************* Dear Anne, Sarah Bly, and the entire Badgie Staff, ************************ 8/3/08 Dear Anne, ********************* I would just like to say thank you to Sara J. She was the best Sister ever! I am going to miss her and cannot wait to see her next year! The Badgerette summer Camp was so fun. Oostburg had a little difficulty getting the moves because we are not used to learning that fast, but in the end it all payed off! i cannot wait till next summer!!!! ********************* I can't even begin to explain how memorable my senior year camp at St. Norbert's was and I owe it all to you!! Being a senior on my squad really made me look at everything in a whole new way. It was so important to me to see my squad grow as performers and become such good friends. I'm so proud of my squad. If it weren't for the opportunities we were given at camp I don't think we would have realized how important it is that if we all work together and give everything we've got that we can achieve our goals. All of you were so welcoming and caring that it made our stay at St. Norbert's even more enjoyable. For the past four years that I have been a Lancerette I have always looked forward to spending the week away at camp but this year I was left with a bittersweet feeling. I know that I still have an entire year to spend with the girls I love on my squad but I've also come to realize that my years as a camper at Badgerette are coming to an end. I just wanted to let you know how much of an impact Badgerette has made on my pom-pon career, I have met some of the most genuinely nice people and have made some of the most cherished memories and I thank you for everything you've done! ********************* Dear Badgerette, ******************* I just wanted to say thank you so much for such a wonderful camp experience! My team and I had so much fun, and I loved how close we all became thanks to Badgerette camp. I feel like our team learned and improved after our stay. I'm so grateful we are able to come each year, it's such a great part of what poms is all about! Every team that performed there looked amazing, as well as all of the Badgies. Thanks again and we'll see everyone at Midwest! ****************** Dear Anne and the Badgies, Val Hagen ~ Greendale ****************** Thanks so much for the wonderful opportunities you have given me. Camp was such a rewarding experience and I feel that I have grown in my dance skills because of it. Not only was it a time to strengthen myself but it was also extremely fun. Thank you for the hard work you put in to making camp the most it could be. Molly McCormick ~ Greendale ****************** Dear Badgerette Staff, Sincerely, Elizabeth Rick ~ Freshmen Greendale High School ********************* Dear Badgies (and of course Anne)- If you've never been to Badgerette camp, this feeling you get over the four days is nearly impossible to explain, and probably impossible to get. Every girl who has gone to camp knows what I'm talking about, and I would just like to thank all the badgies and Anne for providing a "safe place" where us girls can just get away from the world for a week, and really feel respected and cared for. I can't wait to come back next year for my final year of camp and share this wonderful experience with my team again! All the sweat and stress is worth it in the end, after you realize the real reason why you're doing what you're doing!!! Love to all, Kelli Bly (Greendale) ********************** They had such a wonderful time at camp this summer, which is why they are really bummed girls are out of town for Midwest. They loved camp and every part about it (even the food). I have heard only positive comments about the experience, which is awesome. They loved the tennis balls and so did I, what a great idea! The staff was amazing and it felt like we got a lot accomplished in the short amount of time. The routines were great and the girls loved them all, as well as the music. We definitely have routines to do at Girls basketball games this year. Thank you to everyone that made this camp a great experience. Erin Pawloski ~ FH Varsity Dance Coach, MI ********************* I just wanted to say Thank You for such a wonderful time we had at Camp. It was a great experience for me as the new coach as well as my girls. You and the Badgerette Staff made me feel so welcome and I truely appreciate that. It was so nice to see my team bond and really have fun together! Thanks Ally for being such a great "sister!" Thanks again, Michelle Scherer - Nathan Hale Pom Coach ******************** Anne, ****************** The girls had a great time at camp they view it as the true beginning to their season. They have tons of fun and quirky traditions that they really enjoy and they get so much out of watching the other teams! It was a great move to bring them to Norb's last year! Thank you to you and the staff for an outstanding job! I love some of the changes that you have made and the emphasis on how to be good sports and what to really focus on. The review sessions each morning were great because at pre-breakfast practices when people had specific choreography questions, we were able to alert everyone to watch and/or ask for clarifications during the review. GREAT, very practical addition to the program. They have kept their tennis balls in their backpack and can't wait to use them during the season. Finally, for BC specifically, everyone's comments on our comment tape were all along the same lines. It was so helpful because it helped them to hear and see where they could step it up as a team and set realistic and attainable goals for Midwest. Thanks again for your help and understanding. ****************** Hi Anne, ***************** We had an AMAZING time at Camp! The girls learned so much about themselves and each other. Thanks for making it such a great week! Izzy was a wonderful "Sister" and I know the team loved meeting her. I just can't say enough about how beneficial your summer camps are to our team. They bond and improve SO much!

Just wanted to write a short note to thank you for the Leadership/Coaches Intensive workshop on Saturday. My captains, Angie and Christina, and I came away with a LOT of valuable information that we are excited to implement starting at our next practice! I personally enjoyed meeting new coaches and seeing some of my old friends as well. I also felt the workshop was a great way to re-affirm some of the things that we, as coaches, work so hard to accomplish with our squads at the beginning of the season! Thanks for your efforts to present a well organized and worthwhile workshop for both me and my new leaders! ******************* I just thought I would dash a quick note to you extending my deep appreciation for the valuable insight given to the three captains who were in attendance at your leadership workshop on Saturday. Through their giggles and excitement, the threegirls indicated that they were pumped and were ready to try what they were taught. As always, I value the input Badgerette lends itself towards the betterment of my squads through the years. God bless you and thanks again! Your Racine pal - "Mrk" :-) ****************** Hi Anne, My squad and I learned so much from the leadership workshop and coaches'intensive on Saturday. Thank you so much for setting a wonderful example for what pom and dance in Wisconsin should be. I feel so fortunate to have the relationship I do with Badgerette and hope that I can pass on my love of pom pon to all of the girls I end up coaching in my years. Marsha Pauly, Pam, Angela and the Cambridge, WI Captains ******************* 6/9/08
2/18/08 Dear Badgerette,
"I believe that we learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. In each, it is the performance of a dedicated precise sets of acts, physical or intellectual, from which comes shape of achievement, a sense of one's being, a satisfaction of spirit. One becomes, in some area, an athlete of God. Practice means to perform, over and over again in the face of all obstacles, some act of vision, of faith, of desire. Practice is a means of inviting the perfection desired." Martha Graham
