I hereby give permission for my child to participate in any and all aspects of the Midlands Region Church of God Youth Camp, including physical, spiritual, and social activities. I understand that this is a Midlands Region Church of God camp and doctrines and practices of the Church of God, Cleveland, TN will be taught and practiced. (Declaration of Faith 42nd A. 1948, pp. 31,32).
I understand that spiritual ordinances may be administered including communion and baptism. I waive all claims of injury or loss of property arising out of the activities against the leaders of this camp, participants, and the Church of God Executive Offices of the Midlands Region and/or International.
I understand that the Camp Insurance Policy provides secondary coverage, and I provide primary coverage for my child. I understand that eyeglasses and/or contacts are not covered if damaged or lost. All claims must be filed within a year of the accident. I give permission and am financially responsible for my child's medical treatment as determined by the camp staff. Further, I understand that the camp schedule may call for transportation to social activities on or off campus. I give my child permission to ride in a vehicle operated by a licensed adult volunteer or CDL-licensed agent. I give permission for my child to be photographed or recorded to promote future activities. I am financially responsible for my child’s destruction of camp property, furnishings, or others’ belongings. I understand that if my child breaks the camp rules or is disobedient to camp leaders, I am responsible for immediately retrieving my child from the property.
By entering onto any property owned or rented on behalf of the Midlands Region Church of God or participating in any Midlands Region Church of God programs or events, I (on behalf of myself and my family members) acknowledge and agree with the following:
The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization and is reported to be highly contagious. The state of medical knowledge is, of course, ever-evolving. Still, the virus is believed to spread from person-to-person contact and/or by contact with contaminated surfaces and objects, even in the air. People reportedly can be infected and show no symptoms, spreading the disease. The exact methods of spread and contraction are unknown, and there is no known cure for COVID-19. Evidence has shown that COVID-19 can cause serious and potentially life-threatening illnesses and even death.
The Church of God cannot prevent my family members or me from becoming exposed to, contracting, or spreading COVID-19 while on any property of the Midlands Region Church of God or when participating in Midlands Region Church of God programs or events. Therefore, by entering a Midlands Region Church of God facility or participating in one of its programs, I acknowledge that I may expose myself and my family members to and/or increase my/our risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19. I expressly assume that risk, on behalf of myself and my family. I (on behalf of myself and my family members) forever release and waive my right to bring suit against Midlands Region Church of God or any of its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, or other representatives related to any of the foregoing.
