work-out clothing, cheer shoes, and remember to bring a water bottle. The practice facilities are equipped with

will be at the lobby of the building and parking will be in front. We will have assistance from campus parking
to help parents with temporary parking during check-in. A "parent permit" may be needed for
temporary drop-off parking, so please see attendant upon arrival. If participants are driving themselves,
temporary parking permits covering the duration of the camp, will be available
for sale for $5.00. For directions to

Please note
that after dorm check-in/move-in, parents will need to escort their participant
to the Comcast Center Main Floor and check-in in with the University of Maryland
Cheer staff and trainer at that facility. Parents are strongly encouraged to stay until
after the opening performance by the University of Maryland Spirit Squad to hear all of the camp rules.
Resident
participants are encouraged to pack snacks that do not need to be
refrigerated. The last dinner session
runs until 6:30pm, and participants are often hungry once they get back to the
dorm around 9:00pm. Resident

participants are interested in playing games in the dorms after classes are over
in the evenings).
