Parent Commitment Statement

By enrolling my child in the Build • Brand • Market Camp, I agree to support the purpose of this program: the development of ownership, self reliance, resilience, and real world responsibility.

I understand that this experience is designed for students to lead their own work. This means:

My child will generate ideas, make decisions, solve problems, and complete the work themselves.

• I will not design their product, write their plan, build their materials, or run their business for them.

• I will allow my child to struggle at times, make mistakes, and learn from those mistakes without rescuing or correcting the outcome.

• I will encourage effort, discipline, and follow through rather than perfection.

If my child receives startup funds from family members or other supporters acting as investors, I understand that repayment is expected. This reinforces responsibility, stewardship, and the real consequences of financial decisions. Parents may guide conversations, but the student must own the repayment plan and execution.

The goal of this program is not comfort. The goal is growth. Students will have the opportunity to succeed through their own effort and they will also be allowed to fail safely so they can learn how to recover, adapt, and overcome. That process is essential to building confidence, competence, and character.

By signing below, I commit to honoring the process, protecting my child’s ownership of the work, and supporting the development of independence over outcomes.
