This Release and Indemnity Agreement ("Release") must be signed by each adult participant and on behalf of each minor child/student who will be attending, working, volunteering, participating, chaperoning, or otherwise involved with Camp High Rocks as part of my participation with the Father-Son Program. Failure to complete, sign, and return this Release will prohibit you or your child from attending the Family Retreat Program.

Please read this Release carefully. This is a contract and your signature below indicates that you have read and understand every provision of this Release and that you unequivocally agree to all terms, conditions, and promises herein.

As used herein, the following terms are defined as follows:

1) “I”, “Me”, “My” or “the Participant” means the undersigned or, if signing on behalf of a Minor Participant, the above named Minor Participant.

2) The “Property” means the camp property owned by Camp High Rocks and all of its aspects, including, but not limited to, its location, condition, features, facilities, and structures, and equipment located at or used by Camp High Rocks.

As consideration for allowing the Participant to attend and participate at the Property in the Father-Son Program, I agree and promise as follows:

RISK OF INJURY AND ASSUMPTION OF RISKS
I acknowledge that I am fully aware of all aspects of the Property, Camp High Rocks, and all of its activities. I have been given ample opportunity to ask any questions which I may have about the Property, the Program, and the environments to which I may be exposed. I understand that even with appropriate preparation, outdoor activities involve risks, including those that are inherent to the nature of the Father-Son Program. I understand that due to the nature of the Father-Son Program, there are inherent risks of injuries, including death, arising from and in connection with My attending and participating in the Father-Son Program.

I understand, accept, and assume the dangers and risks which are inherent in the operation and activities of the Family Retreat Program. I know and understand that outdoor activities cannot be 100 percent safe. I understand that even with appropriate preparation, outdoor activities involve risks, including those that are inherent to the nature of the program. I understand that due to the nature of the activity, there remain risks that can result in loss or damage to property and/or loss or damage to the Participant, including injury, illness, disability, emotional and/or psychological trauma, and death. Some of these activities include, but are not limited to: swimming, hiking, backpacking, athletics, including bodily contact, use of tools and equipment in manual arts and crafts, work projects and other programs, tubing, creek hiking, biking, sailing, rock climbing, rappelling, high ropes course, initiatives course, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, orienteering, horseback riding, camping out, outdoor living skills, and vehicular travel. Participation in these activities is not a requirement. I have freely chosen to participate. I hereby assume the risks associated with these activities.

I also understand, accept and assume the risks inherent from environmental exposures, which include weather conditions, which can change to extreme conditions without notice, lightning, earthquakes, forest fires, landslides, flooding, steep slopes, water conditions, insects, snakes, bears or other animal encounters, falling and rolling rock, ice and timber, and hidden or unavoidable obstacles. These risks also include, but are not limited to, sunburn, hypothermia, frostbite, dehydration, heatstroke, altitude sickness, poison oak/ivy, insect and spider bites and/or stings.

We have taken reasonable additional measures in an effort to reduce exposure to COVID-19 for all of Camp High Rocks community. COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that can lead to severe illness and death. An inherent risk* of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any place where people are present. While any person is at risk of potential exposure, senior citizens and guests with underlying medical conditions are especially vulnerable according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
• By coming to Camp High Rocks, you are voluntarily assuming all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 and any other communicable disease.
*An inherent risk is a risk that cannot be eliminated.

I understand, accept, and assume the risks inherent with the fact that the Property is in a remote location and used primarily as an overnight summer camp for children and, as such, its facilities are primitive. I understand that I will encounter conditions typical of a facility of this type, nature, and location.

I also understand that cell phone service and other forms of communication may be unavailable and prompt medical attention and transport, including transport by ambulance, air, and other emergency means, may be significantly delayed. I am aware of and accept the risks associated with these conditions and circumstances.

I understand, accept, and assume the risks that could arise from the acts, conduct, and mental/emotional state of the Participant and his/her fellow participants that are outside the control of the Father-Son Program. These risks may include, but not be limited to, episodes of panic or other emotional episodes, negligent acts by the Participant or other participants, and failure to follow directions or instructions.
