A: Yes. CheerHawaii USA will ensure that each cheerleader is chaperoned. We are very strict with our security regulations. Cheerleaders are never allowed to leave campus without supervision.

Q: Where do parents and guests stay during the camp?
A: Most of the parents, family and friends will stay in Waikiki, which is about 5 to 10 minutes away from the University of Hawaii. We will set up discounted room rates at some of the nicer hotels for family and friends.

Q: Will the cheerleaders be able to spend time with their parents during the camp?

All cheerleaders will have the same regulations concerning curfew times, which will be covered at the general meetings.
