Waiver and Release of Liability
In consideration of the opportunity for my child to participate in Redeemer Summer Kamp (Event), I hereby agree to the following Assumption of the Risk and Waiver of Liability (Agreement):
1. Waiver and Release of Liability: I understand that residential camps and other recreational activities carry with them significant risks. I understand that there are certain dangers, hazards, and risks inherent in participation in Redeemer Summer Kamp. Accordingly, I agree to the following:
- I understand and confirm that my minor child’s participation in the Event is voluntary.
- I understand and acknowledge that recreational activities have inherent risks, which may result in injury or death. I acknowledge that an inherent risk of recreational activities includes risk of injury and loss, both to person and property as well as the possibility of infection of COVID-19 or other communicable disease which could result in minimal injury, serious injury and/or result in death. There may be other risks of participation in
the program, some of which may not be known or reasonably foreseeable at this time. I further understand that some of the premises, facility and equipment used in connection with the event may not be owned, maintained or controlled by Redeemer Summer Kamp but rather by the premises owner (Camp Michawana, Inc.). I understand that the risk of
injury, permanent disability, death, or exposure to/infection of a communicable disease (including by COVID-19) at Redeemer Summer Kamp may result from the actions, omissions, or negligence of myself and others, including, but not limited to, the Redeemer Summer Kamp employees, volunteers, and program participants and their
families.
- I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that my minor child may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by participation; and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death. Accordingly, I agree to abide by any policies and procedures established by Redeemer Summer Kamp for participation in the Event, including policies and safety
measures intended to mitigate exposure to COVID-19
- I hereby release Lutheran Church of the Redeemer/Redeemer Summer Kamp, its employees, agents, volunteers, and representatives, from liability for injury or death that results from the inherent risks of the recreational activities, including infection by COVID-19 or other communicable disease.
- I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injury to my minor child (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability, and death), illness, damage, loss, claim, liability, or expense, of any kind, that my minor child may experience or incur in connection with his or her participation at Redeemer Summer Kamp. On my child’s behalf, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold
harmless Lutheran Church of the Redeemer/Redeemer Summer Kamp, its employees, agents, volunteers, and representatives, of and from the claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any claims based on the actions, omissions, or negligence of the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer/Redeemer Summer
Kamp, its employees, agents, volunteers, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 or other communicable disease infection occurs before, during, or after participation at Redeemer Summer Kamp.
- This Agreement shall be binding on the estate, heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns, as well as any other party asserting a claim on my child’s behalf or on behalf of the estate.
2. General Provisions:
- I hereby expressly agree that (1) this Agreement shall be governed and construed according to the laws of the state of Michigan without regard to its conflict of laws provisions and (2) any action or proceeding concerning any claim or the meaning or effect of any provision of the Agreement shall be conducted only in the courts of the State of Michigan sitting in Oakland
County and any applicable Michigan appellate court, and that for such purposes, I expressly submit to the jurisdiction of such courts.
- This Agreement contains the entire understanding between and among the parties concerning liability relating to participation in Redeemer Summer Kamp and relating to the possibility of infection by Coronavirus/COVID-19 or other communicable disease. No waiver, modification, or amendment of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the party to be charged.
