Alaska Employment Law

The complaint alleges . . . that Troop 223 “offers recreational and educational opportunities” to preteen boys and their families at Camp Emerald Bay. As the district court acknowledged, this suffices to suggest that Camp Emerald Bay may be a place of recreation or education covered by the ADA. Alternatively, Camp Emerald Bay may be a place of lodging, or a place of public gathering. The district court erred by going beyond the complaint to find prematurely that Camp Emerald Bay could not be either a place of lodging or a place of public gathering. Appellants are entitled to undertake discovery in aid of their allegation that Camp Emerald Bay is a place of public accommodation under the ADA.
