This camp will introduce participants to more than five different robot and aerial drone platforms that the RADs participate in. Designing, building, coding and operating multiple types of robots (FIRST Tech Challenge, FIRST Robotics Competition, FIRST Lego League, VEX and SeaPerch) and drones (CoDrone, DGI) will be the focus of this challenging, hands-on camp experience. A field trip to The American Precision Museum and a regional manufacturer are also part of this exciting week. By week's end, your child will experience a "live" robotics and drone competition, using a robot or drone that they helped build and program. This camp is also an on-ramp to membership in the River Valley RADs.

                                                                                                                I hereby give my approval for my child’s participation in any and all activities prepared by the Black River Innovation Campus (BRIC) during the selected summer camp. In exchange for the acceptance of said child’s candidacy by BRIC, I assume all risk and hazards incidental to the conduct of the activities, and release, absolve and hold harmless BRIC 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.

                                                                                                                I acknowledge that BRIC has professionals trained in CPR/First Aid on campus during the STEAM summer camps, and that there are no licensed medical professionals (such as LPNs, nurses, or doctors) on site.

                                                                                                                In case of injury to said child, I hereby waive all claims against BRIC, including all coaches and affiliates, all participants, sponsoring agencies, advertisers, and, if applicable, owners and lessors of premises used to conduct the event. There is a risk of being injured that is inherent in all STEAM activities.

                                                                                                              • Medical Release and Authorization

                                                                                                                As Parent and/or Guardian of the named camper, I hereby authorize the diagnosis and treatment by a qualified and licensed medical professional, of the minor child, in the event of a medical emergency, which in the opinion of the attending medical professional, requires immediate attention to prevent further endangerment of the minor’s life, physical disfigurement, physical impairment, or other undue pain, suffering or discomfort, if delayed.

                                                                                                                Permission is hereby granted to the attending physician to proceed with any medical or minor surgical treatment, x-ray examination and immunizations for the named athlete. In the event of an emergency arising out of serious illness, the need for major surgery, or significant accidental injury, I understand that every attempt will be made by the attending physician to contact me in the most expeditious way possible. This authorization is granted only after a reasonable effort has been made to reach me.

                                                                                                                Permission is also granted to the Black River Innovation Campus and its affiliates including Directors, Counselors, and BRIC Team Members to provide the needed emergency treatment prior to the child’s admission to the medical facility.

                                                                                                                Release authorized on the dates and/or duration of the registered summer camp.
