do its best to arrange for early check-in on 20 September, subject however to prior coordination and confirmation between the organizations
concerned and the Secretariat Services. Priority will be given to pre-registered and paid participants (Categories 1 and 2 Participants/Delegations).
Male and female participants will be billeted separately. For participants/delegations who will arrive in Baguio City on 19 or 20 September and
would like to check-in early, they can arrange directly with Teacher's Camp subject however to room availability.
7. Shirt Sizes. Shirt sizes will be asked ahead from the participants in the SES-RF. The Secretariat Services will not permit replacement for shirts;
hence participants are encouraged to consider having an allowance when declaring their shirt size. The shirts will be distributed per delegation
12:00 pm on 22 September. Sizes are XS (shoulder 16.5 inches, chest 37 inches, length 26 inches), S (17.5, 39, 27), M (18.5, 41, 28), L (19,
43, 29), XL (19.5, 45, 30), XXL (20.5, 46, 31), and XXXL (21.5, 47, 32).
8. Facilities. Teacher's Camp is a training center hence its facilities, services, and equipment should not be equated with that of a hotel. However,
the Organizer and the venue’s management, which is under the Department of Education, will do its best to make the stay of the participants as
comfortable as possible.
9. Room Key. A key keeper shall be assigned to have possession of the room key throughout the duration of the activity. Lost room keys shall be
charged to the account of the key keeper. The key keeper shall furnish his/her ID to the Secretariat Services upon receipt of the key on 20
September together with a P100 deposit. The certificate of appearance, certificate of participation, and ID of the key keeper shall be withheld by
the Secretariat Services until the key is returned or paid using the key deposit. The P100 shall be returned to the key keeper upon surrender of the
key with a special certificate.
10. Room Safety and Monitoring. Rooms must be locked all the time. Room keys shall be deposited by the key keeper to the Activity Services Hub
(ASH) located at Quezon Hall-Up every morning, afternoon, and evening (prior the start of the sessions/activities) for custody by the
Accommodation Staffer. Participants (who are not key keepers) who need to go back to their rooms will leave their ID and shall be asked to sign in
the key monitoring logbook before being given the room key. The ID shall be returned to the participants concerned upon returning the room key.
In case the room key is lost, the borrower will pay P100.
11. Refund. Registration fee payments are non-refundable for any cause (s) beyond the control of YLP. Illness without valid medical certification or
termination of parental consent shall not be considered as a ground for refund. However, the registration payment is transferable, provided that
the Secretariat Services shall be notified of the changes on or before 9 September. In case the registration is cancelled, the following conditions
shall apply for the transaction of refunds:
