By participating in the Media Now camp, I am giving consent of my work, image, name, and likeness to be used in materials (marketing, social media and otherwise) in regards to Media Now. I understand that if I break any of the camp or University rules, state/federal laws, I will be dismissed from camp with no refund. (If you wish not to appear in any photos related to Media Now, an email with said request submitted to [email protected] is required.)

For additional information on our privacy policy, read here.

I will respect the campus from the classroom and cafeteria to the dorms and outdoor spaces. I am a guest on campus. I will be cautious of walls, furniture, carpet, computers, windows/blinds, etc. and understand that those who purposely damage Drake University property will be charged for the expense of replacing those items.

I understand that the dorms will have two floors for student housing – one for boys and one for girls. Student campers can be only on their same-sex floor of which they identify. In short, no boys in girls rooms and no girls in boys rooms. We can hang out all together in the common spaces.

I understand that the assigned room and roommate are where I need to sleep and keep our things. No switching roommates without authorization to do so, and even then, changes will only be made if there is a serious concern to do so. This is for my safety. The camp directors and staff need to know where I am in case of illness, family need or emergency. They also need to know who has keys and access to my space. I understand I will be assigned a room and a key to that room. If I lose the key, I will be charged $50 by the University for a replacement key.

I understand that all campers will remain on campus from check-in to check-out. That means no off-campus trips to convenience stores, eating establishments or coffee shops, etc. If there is something that I can't have delivered to campus, I will make arrangements with the camp director and counselors to get things arranged. For my safety, all campers will remain on campus unless we are going somewhere as a group with our instructor.

I understand that campers should not be walking around campus on their own or even in a small group outside of designated and authorized spaces and times. This is for the safety of each camper. For example, no early morning runs off-campus are allowed. If running on-campus, the director should be made aware in order to arrange a running buddy or notify public safety of our plans. Again, I understand that Media Now does this all to keep campers safe.

I understand that once we are in for the night we are not allowed to wander around campus. Free time should be just in the common spaces in the dorm or in the yard outside the dorms in the designated area. Free time is between (approximately) 9:30 - 11 p.m. each night.

I understand that curfew and quiet hours are in play each night at 11 p.m. We'll be doing some things together each night, but after that we will all head in. At 11 p.m., the halls should be quiet and I should be settled in for the night. The counselors will do a bed check. Campers can still be chatting in their room, but we'll be respectful of roommates and neighbors by keeping the noise down. If I’m wanting to cash out before the 11 p.m. curfew, I understand I can check in with my on-floor counselor.

I understand there are no visitors allowed while at camp.

I understand that if I’m suspected or found in possession of drugs, alcohol or illegal substances of any kind, on-campus security will be called and I will be sent home at my expense.

I understand that no firearms or weapons of any kind are allowed on campus.

I will treat all other students, counselors, directors and University staff with respect and kindness, just as I would like to be treated. I understand that racist or derogatory language or acts of any kind will not be tolerated.
