I understand that EarthWalk Camp activities such as, hiking, running, playing games, wood-carving, using tools, engaging in activities in the forest, meadow, and wetlands my child could get hurt and/or encounter mosquitos, bees, ticks, poison ivy, low lying branches, and slippery and jagged surfaces, among other inherent dangers and risks.
I also understand that outdoor activities may occur in the hot sun, in the rain or stormy weather. I agree to see that my child is appropriately attired for all activities, and carries necessary extra items they may need such as sunscreen, rain jacket or extra layer of clothing, and is prepared for the variable, often changing weather conditions.
The EarthWalk staff are trained in dealing with emergency situations and will strive to always safeguard all children’s physical and social wellbeing. I accept the safety considerations and any agreements set down by EarthWalk staff to minimize these risks.
In the event of illness, injury, and/or accident, I authorize the EarthWalk staff to act on my behalf. They may approve any and all non-emergency or emergency treatment and are authorized to sign any and all medical release or required form(s) on my behalf. In the event of an emergency, I understand that I will be notified of the situation as soon as practicable. I agree to pay any necessary expenses incurred in the medical treatment of my child.
I understand that the EarthWalk staff may, in its sole discretion, dismiss any child for inappropriate, disrespectful, or dangerous behavior at any time. If my child breaks or damages any property as a result of their direct or indirect behavior, I hereby agree to pay for its repair or replacement.
I am fully aware of these risks, and realize that injuries are a possibility no matter how attentive a caregiver/instructor may be. I hereby assume these risks and, knowing them, hereby give my child permission to participate. I accept the full responsibility for any such damage or injury of any kind that may result from the actions of my child enrolled in EarthWalk Summer Camp.
