Recreational Activities Release

Express Assumption of Risk, Release of Liability,

Waiver of Claims, and Indemnity Agreement

Express Assumption of Risk Associated with Recreational Activities:

I hereby affirm and acknowledge that I fully understand the hazards and risks associated with the many outdoor recreational activities in which I am about to engage through The Peacemaker Center. The inherent risks and hazards include but are not limited to: 

• Injuries sustained from any/all outdoor activities, such as hiking, paddle boarding, swimming and more.
• Injuries sustained from objects that are either natural or man-made, such as rocks, cliffs, trees or from misjudging trails or other terrain that induces slipping, falling, colliding or otherwise.
• Injuries and illnesses sustained from any/all activities stated above.
• Injuries from hypothermia, heat stroke, dehydration, etc. from exposure to the elements, such as rain, cold, excessive heat, or the weather in general.
• Injuries or illnesses sustained from either plants or animals, such as poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, wildlife, or exposure to any plants or animals present within the Program area in general.
• Accidents, injuries, or illnesses occurring in remote locations where no immediate medical attention is available.

I understand that the description of these risks isin no way complete and that all such dangers, both anticipated andunanticipated, can lead to illness, injury, permanent disability, drowning, and death. 

Release of Liability, Waiver of Claims, and Indemnity Agreement: 

In making it possible to participate in many of the above-described activities and more, I both agree and acknowledge that: 

• I hereby release and hold harmless with respect to any/all illness, injury, disability, death, or loss or damage to person or property—whether caused by negligence or otherwise—the following named persons or entities, herein referred to as Releasees: The Peacemaker Center, their Employees, and its Board Members. 

• I hereby release the Releasees, their officers, directors, managers, employees, representatives, agents, volunteers, and other vessels from any/all liability and responsibility and for any claims that I, my estate, heirs, survivors, executors, or assigns may have for personal injury, property damage, or wrongful death arising from the above activities whether caused by active or passive negligence of the Releasees or otherwise. By executing this document, I agree to hold the Releasees harmless and indemnify them in conjunction with regard to any illness, injury, disability, death, or loss or damage to my own personal property that can ensue from engagement in the full body of activities as stated above and otherwise.

• By entering into this agreement, I am not relying on any oral or written representation or statements made by the Releasees other than that set forth in this agreement. This release shall be binding to the fullest extent permitted by law. If any provision of this release is found to be unenforceable, the remaining terms shall still be enforceable.

I have read this release of liability and assumption of Risk Agreement, and not only do I fully understand its terms but I understand that I hereby release all liability and therein relinquish legal rights by signing it. I also sign it freely and voluntarily under my own free will without any inducement, coercion, or otherwise.
