Cheerleader Camp is a 1988 American slasher film produced and directed by John Quinn in his directorial debut, and starring Betsy Russell, Leif Garrett, Lucinda Dickey, and Lorie Griffin.

The film follows a troubled young woman who arrives at a cheerleader summer camp for a competition, where a series of murders begin to occur.

It was originally intended to be filmed in Oregon, but was instead shot largely in Camp Nelson, California, and in the Sequoia National Forest.

The police are called, and Miss Tipton explains to Sheriff Poucher that, in order to protect her job, she did not want to report Suzy's death until the program was finished.

The Sheriff assures Tipton that he will take care of the matter, and the deal is sealed by the pair having sex, an act which is caught on video by Tim.

During the team's improvised routine, Tim falls offstage, knocking Pop to the ground in the process, prompting the handyman to declare, "I hope you die!"

Cory and Brent follow separately into the woods to look for Pam and Theresa, and Miss Tipton sends Pop to search for her as well.

in Variety noted that the film had a "Paper-thin plot" while stating that "the largely attractive cast does well with sparse material, particularly Russel and Dickey".
