Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Do you have questions about camp? You have come to the right place! If your questions are not answered below, please feel free to reach out to us via email.
How do I become a FCA Cheer
Huddle Leader?
FCA Cheer's Christian Huddle Leaders submit a Ministry Leadership Application (MLA) to apply to be on FCA Cheer Staff. Applications to be on staff are given out at camp, voted on by the FCA Staff, to senior cheerleaders to try out to be an Instructor or to be on the Ministry Team. We also recruit current College Cheerleaders to be a part of Staff in both capacities. FCA Staff are paid a salary, with meals, lodging, and most travel expenses also covered by FCA Cheer.
What if I have a Chaperone coming too?
Chaperones are more than welcome to come! The cost per chaperone is $100 less than the individual cost. However, if the chaperone will be acting as another coach and be in all of the coaches meetings than the price will the same as a coach to attend.
Are Children who are attending with a Coach or Chaperone allowed?
No, Children who are not registered as a cheerleader are not allowed at camp. This is a FCA policy and liability.
What If I have a Camper with Food Allergies?
Campers are welcome to speak with the cafeteria staff to review ingredient lists for meals. We are not made aware of what is being prepared ahead of camp. Campers are also allowed to bring their own food if that feels safer—there are refrigerators for storage. Campers do not have to attend meals if being in the cafeteria around allergens would be dangerous for them. Our athletic trainer does keep Benadryl and Zyrtec on hand, but it’s very important that any camper with severe allergies brings an EpiPen if they have one.
We unfortunately don’t have control over the food that is prepared, so it will be the camper's judgment on what feels safest based on their specific allergies and comfort level.
What exactly is the cancellation
policy again?
If your team or an individual cancels within 30 days of camp, full tuition will be retained by FCA Cheer since we have to pay expenses in advance.
What if my numbers change on my squad?
Prior to paying your balance (More than 30 days before camp): If the number of persons attending camp is reduced, the deposit of $100 per person, can be applied to the balance due.
If you’ve paid your full camp fee, and a cheerleader drops out for some reason, you will be reimbursed for the camp fee minus the $100 per person deposit UNLESS it’s within thirty days of camp.
If your numbers change it is a REQUIREMENT to inform FCA Cheer.
Are there Scholarships Available?
We recommend first reaching out to your local FCA representative in regards to scholarships. If you don't know who that is, just send us an email and we'll put you in touch with them.
What is the Dress Code?
Typically, teams wear matching athletic clothes. If not matching, wear clothes that allow the athlete to move and won't hinder the athlete from cheering. Long nails and Jewelry are not allowed during camps!
"After Coach Denise Frost recommended FCA Cheer Camp, I truly felt that God wanted my girls to participate in it. Through the work of the girls, their parents, our local FCA staff Spence Lovett, and many generous donors, we were able to attend our first FCA Cheer Camp at my alma mater, Georgia Southern University. We had the best time! We worked hard, we laughed big, bonded as a team and most importantly grew our faith in God."
"I could go on and on about this experience for Ada! We feel so blessed to have had this opportunity! Thank you Marilou and staff...it was INCREDIBLE! What a FABULOUS PROGRAM!"
Jessica Martin, parent of All-American Ada Martin
