APPALACHIAN ACADEMY OF THERAPEUTIC ARTS ("AATA")
Summer Camp Program Waiver
As a group of parents and parent-teachers, we believe that a sacred connection exists between children and the natural world, including the rhythms of change throughout the seasons of the year. We have chosen to create a cooperative learning environment for our children that includes farm activities, gardening, outdoor exploration, academics, traditional crafts and lore, and overall immersion in the natural world.
AATA operates as a 508c1a unicorporated Religious based eleemosynary society.
In consideration of being allowed to participate in a Summer Camp Program at AATA, for myself and any minor children for whom I am a parent, legal guardian or otherwise responsible for, I hereby acknowledge the risks of injury or damage (to property, personal injury and/or death) involved with live animals, and acknowledge any participation in purely voluntary. I assume full responsibility for myself and any other minor children for whom I am parent, guardian or otherwise responsible for any bodily injury, accident, illness, paralysis, death, loss of personal property and expenses therefore as a result of an accident which may occur while participating in Equine and Farm Animal activities at AATA.
I/we further agree to abide by all safety instructions, and to wear any safety equipment provided during any Equine and Farm Animal activities that take place during Summer Camp. I/we acquit and forgive AATA, family, heirs, employees, visitors and volunteers of any and all liability, injury, damage, illness, paralysis, or death associated with Equine and Farm Animal activities at AATA. I/we expressly waive any claim, lawsuit, complaint, charge or cause of action again AATA, family, heirs, employees, visitors and volunteers for any any all liability, injury, damage, illness, paralysis, or death associated with Equine & Farm Animal activities at AATA.
