For and in consideration of my being allowed to participate in this program, I agree as follows:
ASSUMPTION OF RISKS
High Plains Retreat Center or HPRC, Challenge Elements involve a variety of activities including warm ups, discussion/debriefing, games, group initiatives (physically and cognitive), zip line and 2-person giant swing elements and other potentially rigorous physical/emotional activities. The inherent risks and other risks of this program may include falls, heat stroke, hypothermia, anxiety and other fear responses, elevated heart rates, collisions with objects or other people, unsafe acts by other participants, acts of nature related to being in outdoor venues, and other risks that may or may not be noted by participants and staff. Safety is an important priority in the facilitation and management of all levels of programming, however, even with the adherence to recognized risk management practices in adventure programming, accidents do occur. Participation in all of these activities and elements may result in injury, fatigue, psychological stress, or even death, not totally unlike other physically and emotionally demanding activities of various natures. The level of participation in our program is entirely voluntary and under individual choice at all times and for ALL aspects of the program or training. As with any program of this nature, there is a risk that must be assumed by each participant in the event that she/he may experience any emotional or physical injury or death.I recognize that there is a significant element of risk in any adventure sport or activity associated with the outdoors. Knowing the risks, dangers, and rigors involved in the activities, I represent that I/my child exhibit(s) good health required for participating in the activities.
