PARTICIPANT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF RISK AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY FORM

Welcome to Challenge Aspen. We, the staff of Challenge Aspen, look forward to having you, your child or your family member join us for a program experience. On these two pages, you will find important information about Challenge Aspen, our activities and the potential risks involved in participation. Please read this information carefully, ask us any questions you might have and do not sign this agreement if you do not want to be exposed to these activities and potential risks.

Risks of Participation. The Undersigned recognizes and understands that while Released Parties have undertaken reasonable steps to lessen the risk of transmission of communicable diseases, including but not limited to, COVID‐19, in connection with participation in the activities, the Released Parties are not responsible in any manner for any risks related to communicable diseases in connection with Participant’s participation in the activities. Specifically, the Undersigned understands that COVID‐19 is a highly contagious and dangerous disease, and that contact with the virus that causes COVID‐19 may result in significant personal injury or death. The Undersigned is fully aware that participation in the activities carries with it certain inherent risks related to transmission of communicable diseases (“Inherent Risks”) that cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken to avoid such risks. Inherent Risks may include, but are not limited to, (1) the risk of coming into close contact with individuals or objects that may be carrying a communicable disease; (2) the risk of transmitting or contracting a communicable disease, directly or indirectly, to or from other individuals; and (3)injuries and complications ranging in severity from minor to catastrophic, including death, resulting directly or indirectly from communicable diseases or the treatment thereof. Further, the Undersigned understands that the risks of all communicable diseases are not fully understood, and that contact with, or transmission of, a communicable disease may result in risks to the Participant including but not limited to loss, personal injury, sickness, death, damage, and expense, the exact nature of which are not currently ascertainable, and all of which are to be considered Inherent Risks.Please know that participation in Challenge Aspen activities involves risk. Providing high quality programs in a risk­ managed environment is our priority, however, we cannot eliminate all risks in adventure activities such as climbing, rafting, hiking, archery, or most of the activities we offer. As with any outdoor adventure activity, they can result in injury or even in rare circumstances, death.

Challenge Aspen is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that has been in operation since 1995, providing recreational, educational and cultural experiences for people with cognitive and physical disabilities.

It is of utmost importance to us that you not engage in activities that are opposed by you, your family, or your doctor due to illness, physical or mental infirmity, or any other health/medical condition that you may have, whether diagnosed or undiagnosed.

To help us try to manage these risks it is very important that all program participants follow all directions given by Challenge Aspen staff or designated activity facilitator. Please ask questions whenever a procedure or activity is unclear to you. If a program participant is currently taking prescription medications, including medical marijuana or other alternative therapies, it is imperative that these medications be disclosed in the confidential medical form. Use of or being under the influence of alcohol or judgment affecting drugs while participating in adventure activities is unsafe and strictly prohibited.

We believe that it is in everyone's interest that risks are disclosed, understood, and accepted prior to participation at Challenge Aspen. Whether you are the Participant or Parent/Legal Guardian, after you have reviewed all pages of this Acknowledgement of Risk and Release of Liability Form, and if you understand and agree with its contents, please sign and initial in the designated places on both pages.
