Now & Later Home Camps
USA’s Virtual Now & Later Camps are a new camp type that allows us to safely bring spirit to you, wherever you are. Start your season now with a Virtual Camp taught by our top USA Instructors and schedule an in-person time later where your team can work with the USA Staff on stunts/pyramids, private coaching and building blocks you began during your virtual camp.
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a tremendous impact on our world, including a direct effect on how Cheer and Song/Pom programs form their teams, practice and train at summer camp. These camp types have been created to provide an opportunity for teams in locations who are unable to gather and attend their summer camp in-person as planned. Although this summer might look a little different, we want to assure you that we are prepared to deliver instruction that will meet your state and local guidelines while providing the same world-class experience you have come to expect from USA.
Contact your State Director for more information.
