Teaneck Creek Conservancy 2025 Teen Waiver

In consideration of my child's participation in programming and/or volunteer opportunities activities taking place at the Teaneck Creek Park or on behalf of Teaneck Creek Conservancy, I acknowledge that I understand that visiting or volunteering within the 46 acres of the Teaneck Creek Conservancy may involve contact with hazardous plant and man-made materials that grow here or were dumped on the property and was recently an active construction site. 

I understand my child will be more comfortable wearing weather appropriate clothing, closed toed shoes, water proof (for creek activities), and sunscreen/bug repellant as necessary for the anticipated conditions.

I agree to assume and accept all risks arising out of my child's participation, and to hold harmless and indemnify Teaneck Creek Conservancy, the County of Bergen, their officers, directors, employees, volunteers, members and representatives and the County contractors engaged at the property from any and all liability for any damage to the personal property or injury resulting from my child's working on or accessing the grounds and from any and all claims, demands, actions and costs which might arise out of this work or presence on the grounds.

I understand my child needs to be picked up promptly from the program/activity.
