Registration Process: At
registration students will pay: the remainder of the amount due for tuition;
the $40 room key deposit; and for optional private voice lessons. ALL OF
THIS CAN BE IN ONE CHECK. ALL CHECKS WILL BE DEPOSITED AND THE KEY DEPOSIT
RETURNED IN CASH AT THE END OF CAMP. Room assignments will be received
at this time. The cost for tuition is $285.00 (less the $75.00 deposit).
All checks should be made payable to Arkansas Choral Connection, Inc. (ACC
INC.) Early arrivals cannot be accommodated. Following registration
campers should check into their dorm rooms.
Room Key Deposits: A room key deposit
of $40 is required of all campers staying on campus. This is what
UCA charges us if a room key is lost. This deposit will be returned at
check-out when the student¹s room key is turned in. This deposit
may be included in the tuition check. There is a $40 fee for lost
room keys.
Private Voice Lessons: A student
may schedule one or two private voice lessons ($20. each). Payment
for the exact amount will be taken at registration. This amount is
non-refundable if the student misses or cancels a lesson.
Health Record: All campers
and staff must have an official Camp Health Record on file with UCA and
ACC, Inc. The enclosed Health/Release Form must be turned in by each
camper at registration. Students cannot be allowed to stay at the
camp if they do not have a Health/Release/Liability Form on file.
Please DO NOT mail this form prior to the camp. The form should be
completed in ink. In case of emergency or illness, campus security will
be contacted and the student will then be taken to the campus health center
or to Conway Memorial Hospital, depending on the hour of day/night and
the severity of the illness/injury.
Miscellaneous Charges:
Replacement of lost room key - $40 – Replacement of lost name tag - $1.00
– Team Bracelet - $1.00
Spending Money and Valuables:
Students are discouraged from having large amounts of cash with them.
UCA offices are unable to cash personal checks. We suggest that you
do not send cash through the mail during camp. In addition, we recommend
you consider carefully how much money you send, as your child¹s extra
activities can be encouraged or discouraged by the total amount of money
you send. (i.e. eating in the Student Union, ordering out for
pizza, etc.)
Housing: All students will
be housed in air-conditioned dormitories. All students will be assigned
a counselor for supervision in the dormitory. Students will be housed
two to a room (no exceptions for three or more). (Dormitories
are subject to change due to UCA and availability of dorms)
Camp Discipline: All students
are expected to adhere to the rules, regulations, and policies of the camp
and UCA. Students who fail to do so may be requested to return home
without a refund of fees. Please read the Camp Rule Sheet carefully
with your child before sending him/her to camp.
Wearing Apparel: Students
may wear typical school clothing as they wear at home. Shorts are
permitted. All clothing must be "tasteful" and should not distract
from activities at the camp. The final say on clothing is up to the
head counselors and the Camp Director. (See attached dress code guidelines.)
Building regulations require that students wear shoes in all campus buildings.
Students will wear their camp t-shirt and shorts or jeans for the Final
Concert.
Orientation Assembly: There
will be an assembly on Sunday at 4:00 for all choir campers in the IDA
WALDRON AUDITORIUM located in the OLD MAIN Building. This is a required
assembly for all campers.
Select Ensembles: Auditions
for ensembles will be held on Sunday evening after dinner.
Available ensembles are: Sr. Mixed; Sr. Girls; Jr. Girls. The audition
will consist of vocalization and tonal memory. It is not something
to be scared about!!
Special Permission: Camp students
are not allowed to date college students. Also, if a parent plans on taking
their child off campus for any reason during the week, we ask that this
be arranged in advance at the Sunday registration. As a protection
to your child, campers will only be allowed to leave campus with their
parents. Parents will be asked to sign their child out and also sign
the child back in when returning.
Off Campus Students: Off campus
students are NOT permitted in the dorms after 6:00 p.m. Off campus
students are NOT permitted to drive their cars between classes. All
campers are required to attend assemblies and concerts, go through the
registration process on Sunday and they must also have a Health/Release/Liability
Form on file.
Keepsake Videos: A DVD of
the week’s activities and concerts will be available. Students may
use their room key deposit to purchase DVD’s at the end of the week.
Audio CD: An audio cd
of the Final Concert will be mailed to each camper or given to their choir
director for distribution. This cd is included in the tuition fee.
Final Concert: The final concert
will be performed on Friday, July 20, at 3:00 p.m. in Reynolds Auditorium
at UCA. Parents and relatives are encouraged to attend. The
concert is also open to the general public. Students will be given
their Choir Camp T-shirt prior to the final concert. Students should
wear their choir camp t-shirts and shorts or jeans for the concert.
Check Out Procedure: Camp
officials will instruct students on Check Out Procedure. Students
will check out of their dorms after the Final Concert. They are responsible
for having their room clean and free of trash before they may check out.
The room will be inspected by their floor counselor and room keys will
be turned in to the floor counselor after which they will receive a clearance
form to proceed to the lobby and can get their key deposit back.
There will be absolutely NO early check out allowed as all counselors and
faculty are involved in the Final Concert.
Lost Items: Arkansas Choral
Connection, Inc. and/or UCA will not be responsible for lost or left items
even though every effort will be made to return any items found.
Please check the camp office for lost items. Having a name on all
items will help us to get them to the rightful owner. Again, students
are discouraged from bringing valuable items (such as jewelry, etc.) to
camp.
Refund Policy: Arkansas Choral
Connection, Inc. has a refund policy as follows: The $75.00 deposit
is non-refundable. $100.00 of the total amount is refundable up through
Wednesday of the camp week. Requests for refunds must be made in writing.

no circumstances will refunds be made because of homesickness.
