PARTICIPANT WAIVER FORM

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I expressly acknowledge that participation in the YMCA’s programs and activities involves inherent risks, dangers, illnesses, accidents, and personal injuries that cannot be eliminated, and that such risks may arise from my or my minor child(ren)’s or ward(s)’ physical condition, the activities themselves, the use of equipment, environmental conditions, or the acts or omissions of others; including exposure to communicable diseases, viruses, or infections, whether known or unknown, including but not limited to colds, influenza, COVID-19, or other illnesses.

I understand that the YMCA and its employees, agents, counselors, teachers, trainers, representatives, successors and assigns assume no responsibility for loss, damage, illness or injury to person or property that I or my minor child(ren) or ward(s), if applicable, may sustain as a result of my or their physical condition or resulting from my or their participation in any activities, programs, events, classes, the use or non-use of any equipment, exercise, horseback riding, archery, field trips, waterfront and pool activities, canoeing/boating, campfires, hiking, high ropes and other challenge courses, or any other activities, classes, events, or programs at and/or sponsored by the YMCA, including transportation to and from such activities by YMCA vehicles or third-party transportation providers, weather conditions, natural terrain, wildlife, insects, and other environmental factors.

I expressly acknowledge, on behalf of myself and my minor child(ren) and ward(s), heirs and executors, that I voluntarily assume the sole risk for any and all dangers, illnesses and personal injuries, whether known or unknown, foreseeable or unforeseeable, that may result from my or my minor child(ren)’s or ward(s)’ participation in any events/activities/programs/classes while at the YMCA and/or sponsored by the YMCA.

I Agree

RELEASE

In consideration of the YMCA allowing me and/or my minor child(ren) or ward(s) to attend and/or participate in any programs, events, classes, or other activities at the YMCA and/or sponsored by the YMCA, I hereby, for myself, my minor child(ren) or ward(s), heirs, and executors, waive, release and forever discharge the YMCA and its employees, agents, counselors, teachers, trainers, representatives, successors and assigns, from and against any and all rights and claims for any loss, damage, illness or injuries to person or property sustained as a result of my attendance and/or participation in any such programs, events, classes, and other activities, whether or not such loss, damage or injury results from the negligence of the YMCA and its employees, agents, or representatives or from some other cause.

My agreement to release the YMCA does not include any loss, damage or injury that results from the YMCA's gross negligence or willful, wanton, or reckless misconduct. This Release includes, without limitation, any claims I may have individually or derivatively arising out of injuries to my minor child(ren) or ward(s). I acknowledge that certain jurisdictions limit the enforceability of liability waivers involving minors. This Release is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by law. If any portion is held invalid, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

I Agree

MEDIA RELEASE & LIABILITY WAIVER

I also acknowledge that the YMCA often uses photographs, videotapes, television programs, motion pictures, tape recordings, or other similar media for promotional purposes. I hereby consent to the use of my and/or my minor child(ren)’s or ward(s)’ name(s) and/or likeness(es) in such materials to be exhibited and used for advertising, trade purposes, solicitation of patronage, promotional purposes, or other similar purposes, even if my and/or my minor child(ren)’s or ward(s)’ name(s) and/or likeness(es) are an integral part of such materials.

I further waive any and all rights to inspect or approve the photograph, videotape, television program, motion picture, tape recording or other use of my and/or my minor child(ren)’s or ward(s)’ name(s) and/or likeness(es), including any written article, script, caption or other writing that may accompany such use. I hereby, for myself, my minor child(ren) or ward(s), heirs, and executors, waive, release and forever discharge the YMCA and its employees, agents, counselors, teachers, trainers, representatives, successors and assigns, from and against any and all liability, claims, losses, costs, expenses or damages for libel, slander, invasion of privacy, conversion, defamation, appropriation of likeness or any other claim based on the use of such materials.

I Agree

INDEMNIFICATION

I hereby represent and warrant to the YMCA that I have the authority to execute this Participant Waiver Form on behalf of myself and/or on behalf of my minor child(ren) or ward(s) as parent, guardian, and/or next friend, if applicable. In the event of any misrepresentation or breach of the foregoing warranty by me, or in the event that I or my minor child(ren) or ward(s) nevertheless asserts any claim against the YMCA arising out of or related to my or my minor child(ren)’s or ward(s)’ participation in any program, event, class, or other activity as set forth herein, I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the YMCA from and against any claims, demands, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) my breach of this agreement; (b) any misrepresentation made by me; (c) the conduct or actions of my minor child(ren) or ward(s); or (d) any claim brought by or on behalf of my minor child(ren) or ward(s) inconsistent with the releases and assumptions of risk set forth herein, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
