In keeping with our commitment to help protect the environment, The Foundation uses online resources as a primary tool, minimizing use of paper mail-outs beyond the initial camp kits provided.

CAMP AGREEMENT:

The Roberta Bondar Foundation reserves the right to deny access to the Bondar Challenge online tool kit and disqualify camp/camper submissions to those who do not comply.
I agree that the Bondar Challenge materials will not be used outside 2019 summer camp sessions without prior written approval from The Foundation.

OPTIONAL:

Our camp needs to access the camera loan program.
If selected, our camp agrees to host a site visit. The Foundation would like to support the Bondar Challenge program with a visit by a member of our staff and/or volunteers to as many camps as schedules and resources permit. During these visits, our representatives can offer advice on program logistics and delivery (if needed) and receive feedback from camp staff about the program.
The Foundation would like to feature camps participating in the Bondar Challenge on our social media pages (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram). Please check the box if you would like to be featured. Featured camps will be asked to send a photo of their camp participating in the program and a small comment about their experiences delivering and participating in the Bondar Challenge.

PHOTO RELEASE:

As a camp, we are prepared to undertake necessary actions to give permission to The Roberta Bondar Foundation to include campers in photos/videos that may be taken by staff, and/or occasional videotapes taken by local media. The Foundation undertakes to inform in advance any planned visits to a Camp. Our mutual understanding is that any photos/videos taken may be used for promotional purposes (e.g. slide show, website photo gallery, brochures). Names will only be used on website postings associated with winning submissions to the competition and not of photographs of individual campers or staff.

GENERAL INFORMATION:

OPTIONAL:
Please share any information or characteristics that may help The Foundation staff ensure your camp application is positive and that delivering the program is a meaningful experience for your campers.
