I acknowledge that participation in any of this year’s events, may involve risk to the Participant (and to the Participant’s parents / guardians, if Participant is a minor), and may result in various types of injury including, but not limited to, the following: sickness, bodily injury, death, emotional injury, personal injury, property damage, and financial damage.

With regard to events organized for minors, I also understand that the events this year will include participation by adults in children’s activities which also carries the potential for injury including, but not limited to, the following: sickness, bodily injury, death, emotional injury, personal injury, property damage, and financial damage.

In consideration for the opportunity to participate in this year’s events, the Participant (or parent / guardian if Participant is a minor) acknowledge and accepts the risks of injury associated with participation in and transportation to and from events.

The Participant understands that specific activities included in the events may include, but are not limited to, low ropes team building, zip-line, tree climbing, water sports such as swimming, boating, water slide, winter activities such as sledding, snow ball fights, large group games such as capture the flag, ultimate Frisbee, kickball, and nature activities such as sleeping in the tree bus, hiking and camp fires.

The Participant (or parent / guardian) accepts personal financial responsibility for any injury or other loss sustained during any event this year or during transportation to and from an event, as well as for any medical treatment rendered to the Participant that is authorized by Chautauqua Hills Camp / Ministries or its agents, volunteers, or any other representatives.

Further, the Participant (or parent / guardian) releases and promises to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Chautauqua Hills Camp / Ministries or its agents, volunteers, or any other representatives for any injury arising directly or indirectly out of any event or transportation to and from an event, whether such injury arises out of the negligence of Chautauqua Hills Camp / Ministries, the Participant, or otherwise.

The Participant (or parent / guardian) gives consent to Chautauqua Hills Camp / Ministries to photograph and record images and sounds to be used in promotional materials.

The Participant (or parent / guardian) agrees to comply with camp rules and procedures and understands that failure to comply may result in the Participant being dismissed from the Activity without refund and agrees that transportation from the event will be the responsibility of the Participant (or parent / legal guardian).

I understand the importance of, and will adhere to, camp safety regulations and the directions given to me by camp leaders so they can provide me and all campers with a safe, pleasant, and memorable camp experience. I will be sure to give all medications to the nurse. I understand that if I fail to follow camp rules, I may be sent home.

In consideration of being permitted to participate in any way in the sport and activities of paintball under the auspices of Chautauqua Hills Camp/Ministries, I acknowledge, appreciate, and agree that:

1. The risk of injury from the activity and weaponry involved in paintball is significant, including the potential for permanent disability and death, and while particular protective equipment and personal discipline will minimize this risk, the risk of serious injury does exit; I knowingly and freely assume all such risks, both known and unknown, even if arising from the negligence of those persons released from liability below, and assume full responsibility for my participation; and
2. I understand that the activities of paintball are physically and mentally intense. I understand the rules of play and will comply with rules and regulations. If I observe any unusual or unnecessary hazard during my participation, I will bring such to the attention of the nearest official as soon as practical; and,
3. I, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin, hereby release and hold harmless Chautauqua Hills Camp / Ministries, the owners and lessors of premises used to conduct the paintball activities, their officers, officials, agents and/or employees/volunteers (“Releasees”), with repect to any and all injury, disability, death, or loss or damage to person or property, whether caused by the negligence of the releases or otherwise, except that which is the result of gross negligence and/or wanton misconduct.
4. I understand and agree that this Release of Liability Agreement covers each and every paintball activity and event in which I participate hereafter.

This is to certify that I, as parent/guardian with legal responsibility for the participant, do consent and agree not only to his/her release of Chautauqua Hills Camp / Ministries and all other Releasees but also to release and indemnify the Releasees from any and all liabilities incident to his/her involvement in these programs for myself, my heirs, assigns, and next of kin.
