FAQ's
Q: What should my daughter wear to camp?
A: Comfortable clothing, tennis shoes and hair out of face. We have special attire themed days at camps (Team Spirit Tuesday & Wacky Wednesday) and details will be emailed prior to camp. Please have your daughter dress modest (we prefer for mid-drifts to be covered and shorts to be modest length and fit).
Q: When do you stop taking registrations?
A: We prefer all campers be registered by Thursday at noon prior to a camp starting on Monday, so that we can appropriately staff the camp and plan accordingly. However, pending spaces available, we will accept registrations up until the start of camp. If your child is registered for the camp the weekend before the camp begins, your child might have a written name tag, and we may not be able to honor your buddy team request.
Q: How long is the end of camp performance?
A: Plan for the show to last 30 minutes or less.
Q: How do I cancel my camp registration?
A: We offer self cancel. Simply login to your Active account at the link below to cancel with a minimal cancellation fee. Or email us and we can assist: CrossCheer@gmail.com.
Q: What is an appropriate snack to bring?
A: Any snack not containing nuts (includes peanut butter) is acceptable. We have many girls with allergies so our snack policy is peanut-free. Water is a great beverage to provide, however water fountains are available at most of our camp locations.

Q: Why am I having trouble registering online?
A: Our registrations work best on laptops, desktop computers and iPads. Registrations on iPhones are the most difficult because of the smaller screen size. Feel free to give us a call at 469-708-9563 for help registering.
Q: Are you able to prorate the camp if my daughter will miss a day or two?
A: We are not able to prorate the camps because we hire staff for the entire week, as well as provide craft materials, facility use, and t-shirts for the entire week.
Q: Do I have to pay by credit card?

Some coaches are CPR, First Aid and Ministry Safe trained and all coaches over the age of 18 have passed background check.
Q: What are the signs and risk of a concussion?
A: Our camps are beginner level and extremely low risk relating to any injuries, but our insurance company requests we have information about concussions available to any family attending our camps. We also educate our coaching staff about this topic. Please feel free to review this document if interested.
