2. Document Collection

All participants must submit essential documentation before the camp starts. These documents will ensure the safety and preparedness of all participants.

A. Consent and Liability Waivers

• Consent Form: Collect signed consent forms from all participants (or legal guardians for minors) that outline:
  • The nature of the camp activities (pottery, jewelry-making, and associated risks).
  • A waiver of liability to ensure that participants understand they are participating at their own risk and agree not to hold SayPro liable for any accidents, injuries, or damages.
  • A media consent clause, allowing the camp to use photos or videos of participants’ work and activities for marketing or documentation purposes.
• Emergency Medical Form: For safety purposes, collect emergency medical forms that include:
  • Health history (e.g., any allergies, conditions like asthma or epilepsy, or other special needs).
  • Emergency contact information in case of any incident.
  • Details of current medications if applicable.

B. Health and Safety Acknowledgments

• Participants should read and acknowledge health and safety guidelines related to both in-person and virtual participation:
  • In-person participants should be aware of camp safety measures such as wearing protective equipment (e.g., gloves, goggles for pottery), proper handling of tools, and basic hygiene protocols (e.g., handwashing, using clean workspaces).
  • Virtual participants should be reminded of safety while working with tools and materials at home, including guidance on using equipment safely, proper ventilation, and handling materials like clay, wire, or sharp objects.

C. Materials and Kit Acknowledgment

• If the camp provides a crafting kit for in-person participants (e.g., clay, beads, wire, tools), they will need to acknowledge receipt of the kit.
• For virtual participants, ensure they confirm they have received or purchased the necessary materials as outlined in the materials checklist.
