This document must be signed by all adults (eighteen years and older) and the parents of all minor visitors before participating in any activities at Camp Allen which include horseback riding, nature walks, aquatic activities, skeet shooting and challenge course elements among others. I acknowledge that participation in activities at Camp Allen Camp and Conference Center (“Camp”) involves inherent and unpredictable risks, dangers, and hazards. These risks may arise from, but are not limited to: outdoor and wilderness environments, weather conditions, terrain, equipment use, physical exertion, animals, water activities, transportation, group activities, and the acts or omissions of other participants or staff. Such risks may result in serious bodily injury, illness, emotional distress, property damage, permanent disability, or death. I Agree I understand that these risks may be caused by the negligence of Camp Allen Camp and Conference Center, The Episcopal Diocese of Texas, and their respective affiliates, governing boards, officers, directors, employees, agents, volunteers, and contractors (collectively, the “Released Parties”), by the negligence of other participants, by accidents, or by conditions of the premises. I knowingly and voluntarily assume all such risks, both known and unknown, even if arising from the negligence of the Released Parties, but not from their gross negligence or willful misconduct. I Agree If signing as a parent or legal guardian, I certify that I am the parent or legal guardian of the minor participant and have full authority to sign this agreement on the minor’s behalf. I have explained the risks of participation to the minor to the extent appropriate based on age and maturity. I consent to the minor’s participation and agree to all terms of this Agreement on behalf of the minor and myself. I affirm that I, and/or the minor participant, am physically and mentally capable of participating in Camp activities and that no medical or other condition exists that would create a greater risk of harm to myself, the minor, or others. I agree to comply, and ensure the minor complies, with all Camp rules, policies, and staff instructions. I Agree
RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY On behalf of myself and, if applicable, the minor participant, I hereby fully and forever release, waive, discharge, and covenant not to sue the Released Parties from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, losses, or liabilities of any kind, whether known or unknown, which arise out of or relate in any way to participation in Camp activities or presence on Camp property, including claims alleging negligent acts or omissions of the Released Parties, but excluding claims arising from gross negligence or intentional misconduct. I Agree INDEMNIFICATION I agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, liabilities, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to my participation, or the minor’s participation, in Camp activities, including claims brought by or on behalf of the minor or by third parties. I Agree MEDICAL AUTHORIZATION In the event of illness or injury during participation in Camp activities or while on Camp property, I authorize the Released Parties to secure emergency medical treatment and transportation as deemed necessary. I authorize the release of relevant participant information to medical providers or individuals involved in the emergency response. I understand and agree that I am solely responsible for all costs associated with such medical care and transportation. I Agree BINDING EFFECT AND SEVERABILITY This Agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of the State of Texas. If any portion of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
