VOLUNTEER ASSUMPTION OF RISK
I, for myself, my personal representatives, assigns, heirs, and next of kin, in consideration for the opportunity to work as an independent contractor or volunteer staff for the program of Girls Rock MKE (“the camp”), acknowledge, agree, and represent as follows:
I fully understand that attending the camp as a student or camper or volunteer will involve activities such as but not limited to: a loud environment, self-defense, active group games, using electrical equipment such as amplifiers, speakers, and musical instruments, moving heavy equipment and objects, screen printing, stencil making, dancing, singing and shouting (hereinafter referred to as “camp activities”). I understand that camp activities may pose risks of bodily injury due to the inherent nature of each activity. I fully understand the risks and dangers associated with participation in camp activities, that the risks and dangers may be caused by my own action or inactions, the action or inactions of others participating in the camp, or the condition in which the camp activities take place. I also fully understand that there may be other risks and social and economic losses either not known to me or readily foreseeable at this time. I fully accept and assume all such risks and all responsibility for losses, costs, and damages I incur as a result of my participation in camp activities and assume all risks and responsibilities surrounding my participation in these activities.
I agree and warrant that I will examine and inspect each camp activity in which I take part and if I observe any conditions that I consider to be unacceptably hazardous or dangerous, I will notify the proper authority in charge of the camp activity. I may choose to not participate in that particular camp activity until the condition has been corrected.
I hereby release, discharge, and covenant not to sue the camp, its administrators, directors, agents, officers, volunteers, successors, assigns, employees, sponsors, advertisers, and if applicable, owners or lessors of premises where camp activities may occur (each considered one of the releasees herein), from all liability, claims, demands, losses, or damages on my account caused or alleged to be caused in whole or in part by the negligence of the releasees or otherwise; and I further agree that if, despite this release and waiver of liability, assumption of risk, and indemnity agreement, I, or anyone on my behalf makes a claim, I will indemnify, save, and hold harmless at my own expenses the releasees from any claims, suits, or actions of any nature, including attorney fees and costs, which are in any way connected with participation in any and all camp activities. I understand that this release form binds my family, heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns as well as myself.
In case of emergency, accident, illness, or other incapacity occurring while under the camp’s authority, I give my permission to be treated by medical professionals and admitted to the hospital if necessary. This authorization applies whether or not the charges are covered by my insurance, and I am responsible for all reasonable medical and emergency expenses incurred on my behalf, regardless of whether I would have authorized such expenses under separate circumstances.
I agree that I will follow all camp rules and will remain within the parameter of camp activities at all times.
I have read this agreement and fully understand its terms, understand that I have given up substantial rights by signing it, and have signed it freely and without any inducement of any nature, intend it to be a complete and unconditional release of all liability to the greatest extent allowed by law, and agree that if any portion of this agreement is held to be invalid, the balance notwithstanding shall continue in full force and effect.
