In as much as the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service, National Conservation Training Center (NCTC), New Mexico
Wildlife Federation, federal agency staff, and chaperones for this trip will be assuming supervisory
responsibilities for your child at the conference, away from home and school, the student and the parents/
guardians must fully understand the rules which govern the conference. This program is a continuation of the
School or Youth Group that your child attends, and all students are subject to the same rules and regulations
that govern their behavior at their School or in their Youth Group while they are on the NCTC campus.
Because the students will be representing their Tribes, Communities, Schools, and Youth Groups, we have
established the following additional rules for the conference:

I will conduct myself in a manner that will contribute to a sense of community among all participants and
foster an atmosphere of mutual respect.
I will follow the rules set forth in the NCTC guidelines including the dress code.
There will be no use of alcoholic beverages, drugs, tobacco or any illegal substances.
All medications will be reviewed with the Health Coordinator during check-in and must be referenced in
the Medical Release form completed by the parent or guardian.
Rooms will be assigned by NCTC and may be changed only by the chaperones.
Under no conditions at any time will students of opposite sexes be in the same room without the
presence of an authorized chaperone.
By curfew time or the time established for bed check, students are to be in their assigned rooms and will
remain there for the rest of the night.
No students will be allowed to leave the group on their own or with friends without the permission of their
assigned chaperone. This includes leaving in cars, cabs, buses, etc., other than the transportations
arranged by the chaperones.
Students will be held responsible for any loss or damage to their assigned NCTC or other hotel rooms.
Because there are other guests at the conference center, students will be respectful of the effect of their
behavior on others.
The luggage and personal effects of the students are subject to inspection prior to departing and at any
time during the conference.
Students will be expected to know and observe the time and locations of all travel departures.
The establishment and enforcement of any guidelines not covered here specifically, including guidelines
that are necessary to insure the success of the conference, will be at the discretion of the chaperones.

I understand that any infraction of the above listed rules may result in my immediate dismissal from
the conference; that I may be sent home at my parent/guardian’s expense; and that I may be subject to
further disciplinary action consistent with local, state, and federal law. Your agreement certifies that
you have read, understood, and voluntarily consent to abide by the above rules and guidelines.
