Hume Lake Christian Camps has taken reasonable steps to provide equipment and skilled employees so you can participate in activities which might be new or challenging. However, we now remind you that these activities are not without risk. Certain risks cannot be eliminated due to the Camp’s varied settings and without destroying the unique character of those activities. The same elements that contribute to the character of these activities can be cause of loss or damage to your property, accidental injury or illness, or, in extreme cases, permanent trauma or death. We do not want to frighten you or reduce your enthusiasm for these activities, but we do think it is important for you to be informed and know in advance about inherent risks.

In recognition and acceptance of the above risks, I, on behalf of myself, my children, my assigns and my estate, agree to release and hold harmless Hume Lake Christian Camps, Inc., its officers, Board, agents or employees, for any and all claims for injuries, causes of action, or liability related to my participation in any activity occurring at Hume Lake Christian Camps, on or around Hume Lake, and at or about any of the Camp’s off-site locations. This release does not apply to intentional and/or willful acts of misconduct by Hume Lake Christian Camps or any of its officers, Board, agents or employees. 

Should Hume Lake Christian Camps, or anyone acting on their behalf, be required to incur attorneys’ fees and costs to defend a claim or lawsuit, or to enforce this agreement, I agree to indemnify and hold Hume Lake Christian Camps harmless for all such fees and costs. For promotional or marketing purposes, Hume Lake Christian Camps reserves the right to use any audio, video, and/or photography of guests or campers participating in Hume- facilitated events.

By signing this document, I acknowledge that if anyone is hurt or property damaged during my participation in these activities, I may be found by a court of law to have waived any right to maintain a claim or lawsuit against Hume Lake Christian Camps on the basis of any claim which has been released herein. I have had sufficient opportunity to read this entire document, have read and understood it, and agree to be bound by its terms.

RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK (“Release”)

IN CONSIDERATION of the privilege of my use of Hume’s facilities and participation in Hume’s programs, the undersigned individual states as follows (all references to Hume shall include all activities conducted by Hume (i) at the Hume Lake location in Hume, California, (ii) throughout the State of California, and (iii) at or near the Hume New England camp location in Monterey, Massachusetts.

ASSUMPTION OF RISK: Hume intends to make me aware, and I understand, that use of Hume’s facilities, volunteering to assist Hume at Hume facilities or on Hume’s behalf at Hume sponsored events, and participation in Hume’s programs, including, but not limited to, swimming in pools, ponds and lakes; boating; high ropes courses, zip lines and rappelling; biking and bike jumping; archery; shooting; paintball; use of swings and playground equipment; skating; snowboarding; snow tubing; strenuous competition games and physical activity in natural environments; free-time activities of choice; mountain and wilderness travel; transportation to and from Hume and to and from camp trips/activities; crafts; rock scrambling and technical rock climbing; off-site 4x4 vehicle and motorcycle tours; off-site bike tours; and golf cart usage (the “Program”), exposes the participant to certain risks, hazards, and dangers, including, by way of example, the risk of personal injury (including the risk of permanent disability or death), accidents or illnesses in remote places (without the immediate availability of medical facilities); vehicle accidents; exposure to adverse weather conditions and wildlife; exposure to biting insects and wildlife, including insects and wildlife that may carry disease; malfunctioning equipment such as helmets, life jackets, harnesses, ropes, cables and any equipment provided by Hume related to any of the above-described activities; malfunctioning camp facilities; slippery and/or uneven surfaces; open, natural water conditions with varying depths and currents; and exposure to infectious sicknesses and diseases, epidemics and pandemics, including COVID-19 (collectively, the “Inherent Risks”). There may be other risks, which may not be known by me, or predicted and controlled by the Program, and which could result not only in physical, mental, or emotional injury but in social, economic, or other kinds of losses either not known to me or not foreseeable at this time and I acknowledge these are included within the Inherent Risks. The Inherent Risks may be caused by my own actions or inactions, the actions of others, the conditions in which the Program takes place, or the negligence of the “Released Parties” named below. I also understand that outdoor, recreational and adventure activities require physical exertion, and any participant should be in good physical health. I further understand it is my responsibility to provide adequate clothing for myself to participate. If I am not in good health, I realize this may create additional risk. I FULLY AND VOLUNTARILY ACCEPT AND ASSUME ALL SUCH INHERENT RISKS AND ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSSES, COSTS, AND DAMAGES incurred by me as a result of my participation in the Program, while using Hume facilities, or while volunteering to assist Hume at Hume facilities or on Hume’s behalf at Hume sponsored events.

RELEASE - ADULT AND/OR PARENTS’/GUARDIANS’ RIGHTS:

I HEREBY RELEASE, DISCHARGE, AND AGREE NOT TO SUE the Released Parties, and each of them, and do discharge and waive, any and all claims, demands, losses, damages, and liabilities that I as a participant may have or sustain, including attorneys’ fees and costs, with respect to any and all property damage, economic loss, medical expense, personal injury, and other expense, injury, or harm, and/or death arising directly or indirectly from my participation in the Program, including without limitation any and all of those Inherent Risks described above. The foregoing sentence shall apply (without limitation) to all claims, demands, losses, damages, and liabilities, including but not limited to claims for negligence, loss of consortium and wrongful death, but excepting claims related to gross negligence, intentional and/or willful acts of misconduct.

APPLICATION OF COVENANTS AND UNDERSTANDINGS: The covenants and undertakings of this Release are given for and shall be binding upon my family, heirs, estate, next of kin, executors, administrators, legal representatives, beneficiaries, successors, and assigns.

INDEMNIFICATION: I FURTHER AGREE TO INDEMNIFY, SAVE AND HOLD HARMLESS the Released Parties, and each of them, from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, damages, attorneys’ fees and costs, expenses, and liabilities made against or incurred by any of them, including those for indemnity, contribution, or otherwise, arising from my participation in the Program and the Inherent Risks, whether resulting from claims, actions, or lawsuits asserted by me or by another person against the Released Parties, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

COMMUNICABLE DISEASE: I understand that Hume Lake strongly recommends that every registered guest and staff come to camp immunized against reasonable conditions (i.e., tetanus, influenza, chickenpox). Registered guests and staff can state they are not immunized for health reasons or personal beliefs. Further I recognize Hume’s expectation that registered guests and staff should arrive with no symptoms of communicable or infectious disease (i.e., temperature over 100.3, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea). I also understand that should such an infectious or contagious illness present before arrival, I should contact the specific Hume location’s Health Center or appropriate camp Healthcare representative at that location to set up an appropriate control plan to minimize the potential for spread. This may include a delayed or canceled camp arrival. I understand that Hume Lake reserves the right not to admit and send home a person who arrives and poses an infectious disease risk to others. If a registered guest develops the above symptoms while attending camp, I understand that the Hume Lake Health Center staff may isolate guests until symptoms have resolved without medication for 24 hours, or they must be retrieved by the parents/guardians or registered group leadership (school, church, organization, etc.). I also understand that should an outbreak of an infectious disease occur, and the need arise to close the camp, campers or staff may be sent home early at the sole discretion of Hume. Finally, I understand that in both individual and outbreak situations, the parents/guardians or registered group leadership (school, church, organization, etc.) must retrieve their camper or arrange for appropriate transportation from Hume as soon as possible.

LODGING & ACTIVITY RULES: Hume has designated lodging and facilities, as well as certain activities and events, to be gender specific. Hume has adopted a policy that a participant’s gender is the gender assigned to him or her at birth based on their biological sex at birth. All participants are required to use the lodging and facilities and participate only in activities and events designated for the participant’s gender, based on Hume’s position on gender and is consistent with Hume’s statement of faith.

MISCELLANEOUS: If any provision of this document is determined to be invalid for any reason, such invalidity shall not affect the validity of any of the other provisions, which other provisions shall remain in full force and effect as if this document had been executed with the invalid provision eliminated, and such invalid provision may be modified by a judicial tribunal (including an arbitrator) to make such provision enforceable consistent with the parties’ intent in entering into this document. I understand and agree that this document is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted under applicable law, and that this document provides the broadest release and waiver of claims as permitted under applicable law.

BY SIGNING BELOW, EACH UNDERSIGNED ADULT PARTICIPANT ATTESTS AS FOLLOWS: I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT, FULLY UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS, UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE GIVEN UP SUBSTANTIAL RIGHTS BY SIGNING IT, AND HAVE SIGNED IT FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY
