We are excited to be working with your child on the upcoming program!  

JUMP! does not want to frighten participants or reduce their enthusiasm for outdoor adventure, but we believe it is important to inform participants in advance of the risks and our policies towards them.  If there are situations deemed to be unsafe, JUMP will adjust activities in line with our Program Policies and Procedures.

Assumption of Risk and Indemnity:

The  JUMP!  Foundation  (JUMP!)  operates  under  global standards  for  risk  management  and  has taken  extensive  measures  to provide  participants  with briefings,  training,  equipment  and  skilled  facilitators  so  that  participants  can  enjoy  an  activity  for which they may not be skilled. However, we wish to remind the Student/Participant and parent/guardian (collectively called “Participant”), that JUMP! Activities are not without risks.

Certain  risks  cannot  be  eliminated  without  destroying the unique  character  of the activities.  These  elemental  risks  can  also cause loss of or damage  to  your  equipment,  accidental  injury  or  illness,  or permanent  trauma. JUMP! does not want to frighten participants or reduce their enthusiasm for outdoor adventure, but we believe it is important to inform participants in advance of the risks and our policies towards them.

The hazards of walking on uneven terrain include slips and falls, resulting in injury. Equipment hazards include equipment failure. Natural hazards include lightning strikes, sudden weather changes creating inclement conditions, landslips, and malady from insect bites and exposure to animals. Personal hazards include one’s own physical condition and capacity for the physical exertion associated with these activities and sensitivity to cold and heat.

The Participant is aware of the intrinsic risks of the Activities, including injury to self, and understands that the description of these risks is not complete and that other known or unknown or unanticipated risks may result in injury.

Participation in any Activity is purely voluntary; no one is forced to take part in any aspects of the Activities they are not comfortable with. By taking part, the Participant elect to participate in spite of the risks. By participating in this program the Participant accepts those risks involved.

The Participant will not undertake any actions that may jeopardize the safety of the Participant or those around them during the Activities. The following actions (including but not limited to) are prohibited: endangerment and/or reckless behaviour, consumption of alcohol, consumption of undisclosed drugs or medication.

The  Participant  agrees  to  comply  with  the  instructions  of JUMP! Staff and other activity providers at  all times  during  the activities  and experiences.  The Participant has also disclosed all medical conditions to JUMP! that may risk the health and safety of the Participant during the Activities and experiences.

The  Participant  has provided “Medical and Dietary Information”. The Participant accepts full responsibility for all medical omissions that may result in Participant's own illness or injury. The Participant hereby consents to receive medical treatment which may be deemed advisable in the event of injury, accident, and /or illness during the activity(s).  Having been informed of  the  inherent  risks  and  dangers,  the  Participant  certifies  that  they  are  fully  capable  of  participating  in  JUMP!  Activities. Therefore, the Participant gives permission and assumes full responsibility for bodily injury and loss of personal property and expenses thereof.
