Camp Cell-A-Bration Camper General Liability Release, Waiver, Indemnification And Agreement Not To Sue
1. PARTICIPATION CONSENT: I, the undersigned parent/legal guardian of camper authorize said child’s participation in CAMP CELL-A-BRATION (“CAMP”), including all related activities. I fully understand all of the dangers, hazards and risk that are associated with and may occur as a result of my child’s participation in the CAMP and related activities. These activities include, but are not limited to, the activities of horseback riding, high and low elements ropes course, swimming, archery, riflery, sporting activities, canoeing, and other camp related activities. I understand that these activities are voluntary and I have familiarized myself with Camp Cell-A-Bration Program and activities at Camp For All in which my child will be participating. I understand that these dangers and risks may result in property damage and/or loss, impairment to health and well-being, and/or physical injury, including serious or even fatal injuries. I acknowledge that although Camp Cell-A-Bration and Camp For All have taken safety measures to minimize the risk of injury to camp participants, Camp Cell-A-Bration and Camp For All cannot insure or guarantee that the participants, equipment, premises or activities will be free of hazards, accidents or injuries. I recognize and have instructed my child in the importance of knowing and abiding by the rules, regulations, and procedures for Camp Cell-A-Bration at Camp For All. I also agree to inform Camp Cell-A-Bration of any activities in which my child may notparticipate.
2. EXCULPATORY AND INDEMNITY CLAUSE. In consideration of my child being permitted to participate in the CAMP (free of charge), I agree to assume full responsibility for all risks. I further agree to release, waive, agree to hold harmless and covenant not to sue the Camp Cell-A-Bration, and all purposes the Sickle Cell Association of Texas Marc Thomas Foundation a non-profit agency, and its board of directors, officers, agents, employees, volunteers, and Camp For All (referred to collectively as "Releasees"), from and against any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, causes of action, suits in equity, whatsoever arising out of or related to any loss, damage, loss of property, or injury, including fatal injuries along with court costs and attorney’s fees and expenses whether caused as a result of sole, joint or concurrent negligence, negligence per se, statutory fault or strict liability of releases or otherwise, that may be sustained by my child while participating in CAMP and CAMP related activities while in or upon the premises where the CAMP and related activities are being conducted or while being transported to, from or in connection with the CAMP. I understand this waiver does not apply to injuries caused by intentional or grossly negligent conduct. I further agree to indemnify the Releasees from liability, claims, demands, actions, causes of action, or suits in equity arising out of loss, damage or injury that occurs as a result of my child’s negligent or intentional act or omission while participating in the CAMP and in related activities.
3. NO INSURANCE. I understand that Releasees may or may not maintain any insurance policy covering any circumstance arising from my child’s participation in CAMP or any event related to that participation. As such, I am aware that I should review my personal insurance coverage. CAMP and SCAMTF may not carry general liability insurance to cover claims arising from CAMP and CAMP activities so it seeks a waiver of claims as additional consideration for the right to participate so CAMP and the SCAMTF, can (a) provide the CAMP free of cost to most participants; and (b) to provide access to a greater number of participants by expending limited resources on program materials and activities rather than on liability insurance.
4. MEDICAL AUTHORIZATION, INDEMNITY FOR MEDICAL EXPENSES, and WAIVER. I understand Releasees cannot be expected to control all of the risks articulated in this form and Releasees need to respond to accidents and potential emergency situations. Therefore, I hereby give my consent for any medical treatment that may be required, as determined by a medical professional at an off-site medical facility or hospital, during my child’s participation in this activity with the understanding that the cost of any such treatment will be my responsibility. I agree to indemnify and hold harmless Releasees for any costs incurred to treat my child, even if Releasees has signed hospital documentation promising to pay for the treatment due to my inability to sign the documentation. I further agree to release, waive, discharge, covenant not to sue, and agree to hold harmless for any and all purposes, Releasees from any and all liabilities, claims, demands, injuries (including fatal injuries), or damages, including court costs and attorney ’s fees and expenses, that may be sustained by my child while receiving medical care or in deciding to seek medical care, including while traveling to and from a medical care facility, including injuries sustained as a result of sole, joint, or concurrent negligence, negligence per se, statutory fault, or strict liability of Releasees. I understand this waiver does not apply to injuries caused by intentional or grossly negligent conduct.
