Emergency Information

Each camper must provide at least two emergency contacts. In the event of illness or injury, the listed contacts will be notified. The parent or guardian will be considered the primary emergency contact, and a second contact is required for additional support.

All of the below fields require an answer and will need to be completed and signed in acknowledgement in order for registration to be complete. Please read through the following questions and procedures throughouly and call us if you have any questions. 

If a camper requires an EpiPen or emergency medication, it must be placed in a sealed, clear plastic bag and clearly labeled with the camper's name. Parents or guardians are responsible for handing over the EpiPen or emergency medication to the designated staff member at check-in on the first day of camp. Campers are not permitted to submit their EpiPens or medications; this must be done by a parent or guardian. All EpiPens and medications will be stored securely and returned to parents or guardians at pick-up on the last day of camp.

Inhalers will be kept with the campers belongings so the camper can access them anytime they need it. 

Empowerment Farm, Inc. will not be held responsible for the disbursment of any daily medications or prescriptions. Emergency medications can be stored on site in case of emergencies only. 

Informed Consent and Acknowledgement

I hereby give my approval for my child’s participation in any and all activities prepared by Empowerment Farm, Inc. during the selected camp. In exchange for the acceptance of said child’s candidacy by Empowerment Farm, Inc., I assume all risk and hazards incidental to the conduct of the activities, and release, absolve and hold harmless Empowerment Farm, Inc. and all its respective officers, agents, and representatives from any and all liability for injuries to said child arising out of traveling to, participating in, or returning from selected camp sessions.

In case of injury to said child, I hereby waive all claims against Empowerment Farm. including all Staff, Volunteers and affiliates, all participants, sponsoring agencies, advertisers, and, owners and lessors of premises used to conduct the event. There is a risk of being injured that is inherent in all camp activities. Some of these injuries include, but are not limited to, the risk of fractures, paralysis, or death.

Medical Release and Authorization

As the Parent and/or Guardian of the named camper, I acknowledge that Empowerment Farm, Inc. does not have a physician on staff and is not required to do so. I authorize the Empowerment Farm, Inc. Staff to provide basic first aid for minor injuries, including the administration of an EpiPen if necessary. In the event of a more serious injury or illness, the Empowerment Farm, Inc. Staff will make every effort to contact me or the listed Emergency Contacts as quickly as possible. If we are unable to reach a parent or guardian, Empowerment Farm, Inc. will contact emergency services.

I understand that children with inhalers will keep them in their bags and have access to them as needed. In the case of an emergency requiring more than basic first aid, Empowerment Farm, Inc. will contact the listed Emergency Contacts for further action.

I grant permission for Empowerment Farm, Inc. Staff, including Directors, Volunteers, and Assistants, to provide necessary emergency treatment until the camper can receive care at a medical facility.

This release is valid for the duration of the registered season and is executed of my own free will, solely for the purpose of authorizing necessary medical treatment in emergency situations to protect the health and safety of my camper."
