In consideration of allowing my child, or youth in which I retain Legal Guardian/Custodian authority (collectively, “child”), to participate in the Sensing Nature®, LLC (Sensing Nature) Summer Camp (collectively, “Summer Camp”) activities offered at the Weedon Island Preserve, I hereby agree as follows:
By completing this Liability Release Form, I, for myself and my estate, heirs, administrators, executors, and assigns, hereby release and hold harmless Sensing Nature, LLC, and their officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents, volunteers, Pinellas County, A Political Subdivision of the State of Florida, and the Friends of Weedon Island 501c3 (collectively, the “Releasees”) from any and all liability and responsibility whatsoever, however caused, for any and all damages, claims, or causes of action that I, my estate, heirs, administrators, executors, or assigns may have for any loss, illness, personal injury, death, or property damage arising out of, connected with, or in any manner pertaining to the Summer Camp, WHETHER CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF RELEASEES or otherwise.
I fully understand that there are potential risks and hazards associated with a Summer Camp emphasizing natural areas, including, but not limited to, possible injury or loss of life. It is my understanding that such Summer Camp activities may include hikes, field lectures, wildlife observations, and inadvertent exposure to potentially dangerous wildlife, vegetation and/or water features, as well as many other land and water activities. I further understand that during the Summer Camp, my child may be visiting undeveloped locations, public parks and/or preserves and interacting with persons that are not associated with or under the control or supervision of the Releasees. Despite the potential risks and hazards associated with the Summer Camp, I wish to proceed, and freely accept and assume all risks and hazards that may arise from my child’s participation in the Summer Camp. I acknowledge that the Summer Camp is not required, but allow my child to do so by choice.
I further hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Releasees from any judgment, settlement, loss, liability, damage, or costs, including court costs and attorney fees for both the trial and appellate levels that Releasees may incur as a proximate result of any negligent or deliberate act or omission on my part during my child’s participation in the Summer Camp.
In the event that my child might require medical treatment for any reason while attending a Summer Camp, I authorize Sensing Nature, their agents, employees, or representatives to administer first-aid if needed, or to admit my child for treatment at an appropriate licensed medical facility and agree to pay any and all expense(s) incurred for this transport and/or treatment. In case of an accident requiring medical treatment, I authorize treatment for my child as the attending medical personnel deem appropriate.
In signing this agreement, I acknowledge and represent that I have read and understand it; that I sign it voluntarily and for full and adequate consideration, fully intending to be bound by the same; I understand that I am giving up substantial rights by signing it; and that I am at least eighteen (18) years of age and fully competent of signing for a minor of whom I am responsible.
