RELEASE OF LIABILITY
This document affects your legal rights. You must read and understand it before signing.
DUTY OF PARTICIPANTS: It is recognized that some recreational activities conducted by Camp Gunnison are potentially hazardous to participants regardless of all reasonable safety measures which we take. Each participant shall have a duty to act as a reasonably prudent person when engaging in the recreational and educational activities which are offered by Camp Gunnison. I hereby covenant and agree not to
(a) perform any act which shall interfere with the running or operation of Camp Gunnison when the Camp Gunnison-sponsored activities conform to the rules and regulations of the State of Colorado.
(b) use any Camp Gunnison equipment, facilities, or services which I am not qualified to use safely. If after I have received instruction on the safe use of such facilities, equipment, or services and am still not confident, I will request additional instruction until I have received sufficient instruction to permit safe usage.
(c) engage in any harmful conduct or willfully or negligently engage in any type of conduct which contributes to or causes injury to any person.
(d) embark in any self-initiated activity without first informing the appointed representative of the recreational or educational activity of my intentions and receiving permission from the same to engage in such self-initiated activity.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF RISK: I understand and acknowledge that the activity which I am about to voluntarily engage in as a participant and/or volunteer bears certain known risks and unanticipated risks which could result in injury, death, illness, disease (physical or mental), or damage to myself, to my property, to spectators, or other third parties. I, being aware that this activity entails risks or injuries to myself and risks or injuries to spectators or third parties as a result of my actions, expressly agree, covenant, and promise to accept and assume all responsibility and risk for injury, death, illness, disease, or damage to myself or to my property arising from participation in this activity. I also agree to pay for any damages caused to others if they are injured or otherwise damaged due to any negligent actions on my part. My participation in this activity is purely voluntary; no one is forcing me to participate, and I elect to participate in spite of the known and unknown risks.
RELEASE:
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AND IN CONSIDERATION OF THE SERVICES AND/OR PROPERTY PROVIDED, I, FOR MYSELF AND ANY MINOR CHILDREN FOR WHICH I AM THE PARENT, LEGAL GUARDIAN, OR OTHERWISE RESPONSIBLE, ANY HEIRS, PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES, OR ASSIGNS, DO HEREBY RELEASE CAMP GUNNISON, ITS PRINCIPALS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS, EMPLOYEES, AND VOLUNTEERS FROM ANY LIABILITY AND WAIVE ANY CLAIM FOR DAMAGES ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE COMMITTED BY THE PARTIES BEING RELEASED, BE IT ACTIVE, PASSIVE, SIMPLE OR GROSS). I further agree to reimburse Camp Gunnison for all attorney’s fees and costs should I bring a legal action against you and lose.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT: I understand that this is the entire Agreement between me and Camp Gunnison, its agents, or employees and that it cannot be modified or changed in any way by the representations or statements of any employee of Camp Gunnison or by me.
SEVERABILITY: If any term of this ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RISK, ACCEPTANCE OF RESPONSIBILITY, AND RELEASE OF LIABILITY is to any extent invalid, illegal, or otherwise incapable of being enforced, such term shall be excluded to the extent of such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability. All other terms contained herein shall remain in full force and effect.
