What to Bring to Cheer Camp?

Off to Cheer Camp! That magical land where hundreds of cheerleaders come together to learn new skills and come back a whole new squad. But what do you bring? Do you over or under pack? How do you fit all you need in one suitcase? Who do I bunk with? It's all simple and very fun, and after coming back and reading this you'll probably think "what was I so nervous for?" So here's a general packing list that probably applies to you and your squad!

 

1. Uniform

Make sure to pack your WHOLE uniform. Don't forget your bloomers or your liner. Most cheer camps have the final performance and that's usually when teams wear their uniform.

 

2. Camp Wear

Most teams also have camp wear which is 2-3 outfits that the captains choose. This is so you guys look all together and as one squad. It's also easy for your coach to keep track of all of you.

 

3. Cheer Shoes

You will be using these puppies 24/7 at cheer camp so make sure you don't forget them at home!

 

4. Bows

Make sure you have all of the needed bows to top off your look.

 

5. Essentials

 

- Shampoo

- Conditioner

- Body soap

- Deodorant

- Toothbrush

- Toothpaste

- Floss

- Contacts & solution

- Glasses

- Make-up

-Underwear

 -Socks

 -Swimwear

 -Pajamas

 -Sports bra and bras

 -flip flops

 -bug spray

 -hot glue gun (if a bow breaks)

- Hair ties

- Hair spray or gel

- Tampons

- Shaving cream

- Razors

- Face wash

- Moisturizer (with an SPF!)

6. Room Necessities

Although you're not in your room much you never know how late you and your roomies might want to stay up. Make sure you bring some cash if the hotel you stay at has a gift shop with food. You should also bring some snacks like fruit snacks, candy, chips, and energy bars for on the go snacks or just small snacks before bed. You can also bring a camera for funny pictures. What I like to do is bring a game like cards or maybe some whip cream for pranks.

 

Have fun at cheer camp. It's the greatest time of year that only comes once a year!

 

Love,

A Cheerleader
