In accordance with the First Amendment, we reserve the right to our freedom of speech and align our values with the Biblical view of gender. We believe that there are two genders determined by one's physical attributes at birth. As a parent of a camper, you agree to talk with your child about this Biblical standard. We welcome campers that may be struggling with gender dysphoria or other gender-related issues, as we want them to discover the love of God their creator through his Word and his church, however, we reserve the right to organize all campers according to these two genders. By signing this waiver, you waive your right to bring a legal suit for any perceived discriminatory behavior in recognizing these two genders. Any controversy arising out of, connected to, or relating to any matters herein of the transactions between me and the above named parties or on behalf of the minor child named below, of this Release/Waiver, or the breach thereof, including, but not limited to any claims of violations of Federal and/or State Law, as well as any common law claims shall be settled by arbitration; and in accordance with this paragraph a judgment based upon the arbitrator's award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
