| I am aware in signing this statement for
participation in programs of 4-H Camp Ohio that certain activities are
physically demanding. Therefore, physical fitness will increase the
enjoyment and ability to participate in the activity. If for any reason
I question the ability of the participant to participate in the
activity, I will consult with the instructors prior to participation.
While it is impossible to foresee all possible dangers, some of the
specific hazards which might be encountered while participating in
adventure programs include: slipping or falling on the trail, bumps,
bruises, cuts, insect bites, poison ivy, sprains, fractures or other
injures. I understand that most activities are conducted in the
out-of-doors in all kinds of weather, so proper dress (rain gear, warm
clothing) are essential to avoid undue exposure to known risks; however,
as a participant, I acknowledge the nature of the activity and the fact
that not all of the stresses and hazards connected with the activity can
be foreseen. I have the personal responsibility to follow the
established safety rules and procedures to the extent that I participate
in such activities. If at any time I have questions about the activity,
I have the responsibility to consult with my instructor. Sponsoring
agencies have the responsibility of providing a progression of
appropriate activities which lead to the experiences at 4-H Camp Ohio.
I recognize that there is a significant element of
risk in any adventure, sport or activity associated with the outdoors.
Knowing the inherent risks, dangers and rigors involved in the
activities, I certify that the participant (including any minor
children) is fully capable of participating in the activities.
I assume full responsibility for the participant
(including minor children), for bodily injury, death, loss of personal
property and expenses thereof, as a result of my negligence or the
negligence of the participant. |
