By completing the sale of enrolling your child into a Bushcraft club you acknowledge the follwing and release OARS, their staff, and the property owners from liability:
1. Acknowledgement of Risks:
The waiver clearly states that camp activities involve inherent risks of injury or death.
It acknowledges that the camp cannot foresee or prevent all possible dangers.
Examples of potential risks might include those associated with specific activities like swimming, hiking, or using equipment.
2. Release of Liability:
Parents agree not to hold the camp, its staff, or other parties liable for injuries, damages, or losses that occur during the camp.
This release typically covers negligence, but may not cover gross negligence or willful misconduct, depending on state law.
The waiver might also include an agreement to indemnify the camp, meaning the parent will help defend and hold the camp harmless from lawsuits.
3. Permission for Participation:
Parents give explicit permission for their child to participate in all camp activities.
They might also acknowledge that they have provided any necessary medical information and insurance details.
4. Medical Consent (Often Included):
Parents grant the camp staff permission to administer first aid and call for medical assistance if needed.
They agree that they are responsible for any medical costs incurred.
5. Other Important Considerations:
The waiver should be written in clear and simple language that parents can easily understand.
It should be signed by both parents or legal guardians.
Some states have specific laws regarding the enforceability of liability waivers, so it's important to consult with an attorney to ensure the waiver meets legal requirements.
