Below is a detailed guide for collecting the required documentation.

3. Consent Forms and Legal Documentation
Parental Consent and Waiver Forms:
For minors (under 18 years of age), a parental consent form must be signed. This form will:

Photographic and Media Release:
- Obtain permission from the participant (or parent/guardian) for the use of their image, artwork, and videos in promotional materials, such as camp brochures, websites, or social media platforms. This form will allow SayPro to capture moments of the camp and showcase the artwork created by participants.
4. Art-Related Preferences and Restrictions
Art Medium and Technique Preferences:
As participants may have specific interests in certain art forms, collect their preferences regarding artistic mediums to tailor the experience for each individual. This section could include:
