Media/Photo Consent: During the online registration process, you will be asked to sign a media waiver that gives consent for us to take pictures of your child or you in action. This waiver is not required, and we will respect your decision if you choose to decline. We would love to share pictures of artwork with you via our social media channels to promote our programs and engage with our community.
Thank you for using Jumbula! We use a web based registration service called Jumbula. They make the whole process of registration easy for us, and hopefully for you, too! You will need to create an account with Jumbula and set up a profile for each person who registers. If you have any questions or issues, please contact us.
Thank YOU for your support!
We look forward to seeing you in Make For Joy Art!
