in the education field and are certified in CPR and First Aid.

FIELD CAMPS 
Campers will start and end their day at Pacific Northern Academy

in activities in the greater Anchorage area.
GRADE REQUIREMENTS
Our camps are designed to be grade specific, catering to a camper’s
academic, social and motor skills levels. A child will be able to
enter a group only if he/she is entering that grade in the fall
of 2008.
REQUIRED CAMPER INFORMATION
Parents will complete camper information online during the registration
process. Please see 2008
Parent Handbook for more information.
WAITING LISTS
If a camp is full, you will have the option to be added to a waiting
list.
PAYMENT & REFUND POLICY
Camps are offered on a first-come, first-served basis and space
is limited. Payment is required at time of registration. Sorry,
no refunds. There will be a $20 processing fee for transfers between
sessions. This does not apply to transfers made available through
openings in our waiting lists.

LIABILITY & INSURANCE COVERAGE
The Imaginarium maintains comprehensive general
liability insurance as directed by the American Camp Association.
We also maintain secondary liability coverage insurance to insure
staff members when transporting camp participants in busses or Imaginarium
vehicles. The Imaginarium does not provide health or accident coverage
for campers. Parents are required to provide insurance information
(name and policy number) upon registration. If a child does not
have insurance coverage, the parent may contact The Imaginarium
for information on companies that provide temporary accident insurance
policies.
