If the above-listed Participant is under 18 years of age, I hereby declare that I am authorized as their guardian to sign this Release of Liability Form on their behalf, and understand and agree that they are bound by all terms and conditions of this document.

In consideration of the services provided by The Taylor Family Foundation (“TTFF”), the YMCA of the East Bay, and the East Bay Regional Park District and their respective agents, employees, directors, officers, contractors, volunteers (collectively the “Released Parties”), in connection with Participant’s participation in the Visiting Organizations program (“Program”) at Camp Arroyo, I as Participant or, if Participant is a minor, as parent/guardian of Participant agree as follows:

I am familiar with the Program and all of my questions about the Program, including questions concerning the details of activities, the physical conditions, and the Program’s location have been answered to my satisfaction. I understand that participation in the Program creates a risk of injury and I expressly acknowledge and assume the risk of such injury to the Participant. The following describes some of those risks:
• The Program involves outdoor activities where exposure to environmental risks includes poison oak, insects, snakes, predators, unpredictable forces of nature such as storms, earthquakes and wildfires. Entering restricted areas on the property is prohibited and could be dangerous.
• The Program may require travel to an off-site activity by bus or vehicle and Program components may or may not include: arts and crafts, swimming, basketball, bocce ball, field sports, challenge course (includes rock wall, zip line, high and low ropes course elements), horseback riding, hiking, boating, and gardening. Possible injuries include, but are not necessarily limited to, sunburn, dehydration, heat stroke, slipping, falling, drowning, and other mild or serious injuries and conditions.
• All Participants will be required to take a swim test. Participants who do not pass the swim test will only be allowed in the shallow end of the pool with a lifejacket on. If the guardian of the above-named Participant does not want the Participant to wear a lifejacket, they may indicate so in the box below*.

I agree that this description of risks is not complete, and that unknown or unanticipated risks may result in property loss, injury, or death. I understand that the unique character of this Program is to serve participants who are medically fragile and/or high risk. I have submitted, to the best of my knowledge, complete health history information to the above-named organization and represent that Participant is free from medical or physical conditions that might create undue risk to the Participant. I represent that the Participant is fully capable of participating in this Program. Therefore, I assume and accept full responsibility and assume the risk of and for any injury, death, loss of personal property, and/or expenses that may result from Participant’s involvement in this Program, and I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties, Pacific Leadership Institute, Fort Miley Adventure Challenge Course, Challenge Works, Urban Concessionaires, Durham Bus Service, Black Tie Transportation, Reins in Motion, Peggy James, SonRise Equestrian Foundation, Celiac Community Foundation of Northern California, Camp Celiac at Camp Arroyo, and each of their agents, employees, directors, officers, contractors, volunteers, and all entities associated with it to the fullest extent of the law, from any and all claims, damages, losses, or liability that may result from Participant’s involvement in the Program.

This Release of Liability Form also covers participation in the Adventure Ropes Course offered by PLI, Fort Miley. I understand that certain elements of this program are physically demanding and that Participant should only participate in the Ropes Course if he/she is free of medical or physical conditions which might create undue risk to Participant or other participants. Participant is free from such conditions and I am aware that these activities involve a potential for injury to Participant and his/her property. To the extent that Participant participates in such activities, he/she does so voluntarily and I assume full responsibility for any loss and/or inconvenience resulting from Participant’s participation. I further agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Released Parties, PLI, Fort Miley, the National Park Service, the San Francisco State University Foundation and each and all of their officers, directors, employees and agents from any and all liability incurred as a result of Participant’s participation.
