RULES

The Camp Director, while under the authority of the eldership of the Anchorage Church of Christ, is, during a camp session, the final authority on all matters pertaining to policy and rules. He will be responsible for determining whether a camper is returned home due to illness, safety infractions, or failure to obey camp rules.

General Rules and Regulations

Campers must be entering grades 7-12.

At a minimum, parents and/or guardians and the elders of the Anchorage Church of Christ will be notified if any camper breaks the law, and the camper will immediately be sent home.

Chaperones shall be at least 21 years old.

Campers must submit a registration form with signed by parent or legal guardian and camper. No camper will be allowed to proceed to camp without this form completed and signed.

Individuals with special needs may attend camp if the camp staff is able to attend to those needs within their normal camp duties. The determination of whether or not the camp staff is capable of meeting those needs is the responsibility of the Camp Director.
