Acknowledgment of Risk and Release of Liability
I understand and acknowledge that participation in any event, camp, or activity organized by Arizona NYI and the Arizona District Church of the Nazarene (AZNYI), PineRock Camp & Retreat Center (PineRock), and Southwest Indian Ministry Camps (SIMC) involves inherent risks. These risks may include, but are not limited to: exposure to infectious or communicable diseases, sickness, emotional distress, bodily injury, property damage, financial loss, or death. Activities may include but are not limited to: archery, climbing wall, low ropes, high ropes, zip line, paintball, BB guns, swimming, group games, hiking, transportation to and from events, and other camp- or event-related activities.
With full knowledge of my child’s physical condition, capabilities, and limitations, I voluntarily assume all responsibility and risk of loss, damage, illness, injury, and/or death that may occur during participation in any such activities or in transit to and from those activities. I accept personal financial responsibility for any such injury or loss, including medical or emergency expenses incurred.
I hereby release, indemnify, and hold harmless AZNYI, the Arizona District Church of the Nazarene, PineRock Camp & Retreat Center, World Gospel Mission, Southwest Indian Ministry Camps (SIMC), and all their affiliated agents, employees, volunteers, staff, officers, and representatives from any claim or liability, whether arising from negligence or otherwise, connected in any way to participation in any of the described activities. I agree not to initiate a claim or legal action against any of the above organizations or individuals for any loss, injury, or damages (including death) arising from my child's participation.
I understand that every reasonable precaution has been taken to ensure the safety of each participant. I agree to abide by all rules, regulations, and behavioral expectations set by these organizations, and I understand that failure to do so may result in my child’s removal from the activity.
In the event of a dispute that cannot be resolved informally, I agree to pursue a mutually acceptable alternative dispute resolution process. If no agreement can be reached, I consent to submit any dispute to a three-member arbitration panel in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
I certify that I have read and fully understand this agreement, waiver, and release. I sign it voluntarily and with full knowledge of its legal significance, and I do so on behalf of my minor child and myself.
