Assumption of Risks & Participation

I am aware of the dangers involved for the athlete in the camp. I acknowledge that participating in the camp involves known and unanticipated risks which could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis or permanent disability, death, and property damage. Risks include, but are not limited to: broken bones, torn ligaments or other injuries as a result of falls or contact with other athletes or camp staff. I understand such risks simply cannot be eliminated, despite the use of safety equipment, without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity. I represent that the athlete has adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage the athlete may suffer or cause while participating in camp activities, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage myself. I further represent that the athlete has no medical or physical conditions which could interfere with his or her safety in these activities, or I am willing to assume “and bear the costs of ” all risks that may be created, directly or indirectly, by any such condition.

I am aware that activities related to the camp may involve the use of certain equipment. I am aware that such equipment in no way guarantees the athlete’s safety from injury. Additionally, said equipment must be used in a proper manner. The athlete will follow all instructions related to camp activities and the use of equipment including those instructions provided by the manufacturer and camp staff.

The athlete’s participation in camp activities is a voluntary act with full and complete knowledge of the risks involved. On my behalf, my individual family members, and on behalf of the athlete, and our respective heirs, assigns and personal representatives, I assume all risks associated with the athlete’s participation in camp activities.
