Plot
You arrive at Camp Spirit as a rookie cheerleader on the Wolf Squad, a squad that doesn't have high ratings. As soon as you get there, another cheerleader challenges you to a cheer challenge and you meet up with your spiteful cousin, Becka. Becka challenges you to a night time cheer challenge after curfew, so you sneak out at night but she doesn't show up. You end up getting in trouble for sneaking out after curfew. The next day, you are assigned a punishment and you soon begin cheer events and competitions against other squads. Jayden, one of your squad mates, find out that Becka tricked you and decides to take revenge on Becka's squad, Tiger Squad. Jayden finds the Wolf Squad spirit stick missing, and guessing that Tiger Squad stole it, sneaks into the Tiger Squad dorm and steals their spirit stick. It turns out the captain of your squad, Kieko, just took your stick to a camp council meeting so Jayden asks you to sneak into the Tiger Squad dorm after curfew and return the stick. You successfully return the stick, but Kieko comes back from the meeting and you get into trouble. Jayden blames the whole thing on you, and you are assigned a punishment next day. The next day, Jayden feels bad for you and admits that she stole Tiger Squad's spirit stick. Kieko refuses to lift your punishment, and Jayden tells the cheer council about it. The council decides that you showed true spirit by taking the blame for Jayden and Kieko didn't because she didn't lift the punishment. You get promoted to captain of Wolf Squad in Kieko's place.

You sneak out and find Becka having to work out all night without food in Tiger Squad's dorm by her captain, Brianna. You take pity on her and sneak into the kitchen. You bring Becka cake and she starts being nice to you. The next day is the last day of cheer camp. What Brianna had done to Becka gave you a change of heart. Becka nominates you for camp champ against Tiger Squad leader Brianna. The next day, you challenge her and become camp champ. You compete in a few more events and challenge more cheerleaders to get patches for your journal, and end up winning the last cheer event.
