CONDITIONS OF ENROLLMENT

1. I understand that part of the camping experience involves activities and interactions that may be new to my child. These things come with certain risks and uncertainties beyond what my child may be used to dealing with at home. I am aware of these risks, and I am assuming them on behalf of my child. I realize that no environment is risk-free, and so I have instructed my child on the importance of abiding by the camp’s rules. My child and I both agree that my child will obey these rules.

2. I agree that any dispute concerning, relating, arising out of or referring to the subject matter of this contract shall be resolved exclusively by binding arbitration in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, according to the then existing commercial rules of the American Arbitration Association and the substantive laws of Pennsylvania. Any claim brought for breach of the agreement, the non-prevailing party shall, in addition to any other remedies, be required to pay prevailing party’s attorney fees and other costs of defense.

3. Students and parents/guardians agree to abide by Widener rules and regulations.

Photo/Video Consent

I consent to have my child participate in photographs and videos of Widener’s Creative Writing Summer Camp and to have those photos and/or videos used for promotional use.

For questions or to request disability accommodations, please contact Dr. Jessica Guzman at (610) 499-4375 or jbguzman@widener.edu prior to the event.
