  I acknowledge that I am agreeing to provide direct and/or indirect supervision of children and/or young adults attending GMG summer camp sessions in-person and/or online. In that position, I take responsibility for the well being of each student assigned to my care, and will put their needs and interests first when making decisions.

  I will refrain from publicly participating in any activities that are contradictory to or violate GMG values and that may negatively impact the business or reputation of the company. In the course of my employment, I will uphold GMG values to all campers. I confirm have read and understand those values.
  
  In my position I will be serving as a role model for the campers and I will strive to set a positive example of conduct at all times through my words and actions. 
  
  I acknowledge that participation in or encouragement of any acts of vandalism is against company policy and that the company reserves the right to seek reimbursement from me of any costs incurred for the repair or replacement of any damaged or defaced property belonging to GMG or the camp host.
