Kako Retreat Center is fully committed to following Jesus Christ and sharing His love with the people of the YK Delta. I First Name* Last Name* am volunteering my skills toward this goal and not expecting any payment in return.
I understand that if my behavior is not in keeping with this vision, I may be dismissed by the KRC leadership at any time.
Due to the camp's remote location, medical treatment- including lifesaving emergency treatment- may be delayed or unavailable. I accept this risk and agree not to hold Kako Retreat Center, its board, leaders and staff legally responsible for harm caused by delay in receiving professional medical care.
By my signature below, I affirm that I have read, understood and answered all questions in this application truthfully or to the best of my ability.
