I understand that participating in the camping experience involves engaging in various
activities and group interactions that may be unfamiliar to me. These activities come with
inherent risks that go beyond those encountered in everyday life. Such risks include
uneven terrain, extreme weather conditions, standing and moving water, and natural
environments that may expose me to wildlife, including mammals, reptiles, and insects.
These encounters could lead to potential risks such as infections or diseases transmitted
by insects.
Camp activities may include, but are not limited to, field and court sports, high and low
ropes courses, rock wall climbing, gymnastics, waterfront activities, and the ninja warrior
course. I acknowledge and accept the risks associated with these activities. Additionally, I
recognize that certain games and play activities carry unavoidable risks, such as collisions,
stray objects (e.g., balls and equipment), and other unforeseen hazards.
I recognize that no environment is entirely risk-free. I understand the importance of
adhering to the camp’s rules, confirm that I am familiar with them, and agree to follow
them. I acknowledge that drugs are strictly prohibited on camp property. If I choose to
consume alcohol, I understand that I will be prohibited from participating in any activities,
including high-risk ones such as swimming, waterfront activities, the ninja course, and the
climbing walls.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, I voluntarily waive any and all claims or causes of
action against Camp Matoaka for personal injury and/or property damage arising from my
participation in the Alumni Weekend, scheduled from Friday, August 8th, to Monday,
August 10th. I fully understand the risks involved and acknowledge that Camp Matoaka, its
officers, directors, agents, employees, volunteers, insurers, and representatives are
relying on this waiver as a condition of my participation.
