My Nature LabProgram Registration, Release, and Acknowledgment of Risk Legal Guardian AffirmationI affirm that I am the legal parent or guardian of the participant(s) named on this form and have full authority to sign this waiver. Hands-On Learning & Assumption of RiskMy Nature Lab is a hands-on learning environment. Participants may handle live, non-venomous animals, including but not limited to reptiles, amphibians, insects, worms, and crayfish. While these animals are not considered medically dangerous to humans, handling any live animal carries inherent risks. These may include minor bites, scratches, skin irritation, allergic reactions, or exposure to animal waste. In addition, program activities may take place outdoors and can include walking, running, wading through tall grass or shallow water, and exploring natural habitats. These activities also carry inherent risks, such as slips, trips, falls, insect stings, or weather-related discomfort. I understand and voluntarily accept all such risks on behalf of my child. Participation is entirely voluntary, and I elect to allow my child to participate with full awareness of these risks. Release of Liability and IndemnificationIn consideration of my child being permitted to participate in My Nature Lab activities, I hereby release, waive, discharge, indemnify, and hold harmless My Nature Lab, its staff, volunteers, and affiliates from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions, or causes of action arising out of or related to any loss, damage, or injury, including serious injury or death, that may be sustained by my child or to my child’s property, whether caused by negligence or otherwise, while participating in any activity connected with My Nature Lab. Medical ConsentIn the event of an emergency, I authorize My Nature Lab staff to seek medical treatment for my child, including transportation by emergency services if deemed necessary. I agree to be financially responsible for any resulting medical expenses. Illness & Wellness ExpectationsWe ask families to keep children home when they are experiencing symptoms of contagious illness (such as fever, vomiting, diarrhea, persistent cough, or any illness that impacts their ability to comfortably participate). We trust families to use good judgment and appreciate everyone’s efforts to keep our community healthy and safe. Photography, Video, and Audio ReleaseI understand that My Nature Lab staff may take photographs, video, or audio recordings of participants during activities. These materials are the property of My Nature Lab and may be used in print, online, or other media for educational or promotional purposes without compensation to the participant. Governing Law and SeverabilityThis Registration, Release, and Acknowledgment of Risk is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of the State of Colorado. If any portion of this document is held to be invalid, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
