I declare that my child/children is/are in good physical condition for this camp and I undertake it at my own risk. I understand there are certain risks and dangers inherent in participating in this camp with the knowledge of the dangers that are obvious and/or possibly hidden. I hereby unconditionally release Fresh Air Family and any person and/or entity providing any instruction, facility, and/or funding for the program and/or event and their employees, officers, directors, volunteers and representatives from any and all claims and liability that may result or arise, directly or indirectly from my child’s participation in these activities and associated activities at all Fresh Air Family events.

I hereby grant permission for any use of photographs and videos of this camp for any purpose. By participating in the activities and/or associated activities at all Fresh Air Family camps and events, you represent that you have been informed of these risks and voluntarily assume the risks of potential injury or infection. For each of these reasons, you agree to release Fresh Air Family from any liability as a result of any claims, causes of action, or damages, including any costs related to our defense, should my child contract a disease as a result of participation in the activities. I also agree to indemnify Fresh Air Family, and the host location of this camp, in the event that a claim or cause of action is made or asserted against us, including any costs related to our defense, by someone else that has contracted the disease as a result of my child’s participation in the activities.

I do hereby, of my own free will, voluntarily release, discharge and agree to save and hold harmless and indemnify said parties or anyone in acting in their behalf from any and all liability claims, demands or causes of action of any type arising out or related to any loss, damage or injury, that may be sustained by me or my child while on or about said events from any cause of any type, known or unknown, whether due to the negligence of parties or anyone acting in their behalf. I make this release to bind any of my heirs or representatives of my estate. (If applicable: I hereby certify that I have read the foregoing waiver and release and consent of my child’s/ward’s participation in this camp and on all Fresh Air Family events, and any associated activities in accordance with the terms of said waiver and release.)

Gross Out Camp Behavior Policy

Please note your completion of Gross Out Camp registration is an acknowledgement of agreement to the Fresh Air Family Camp Behavior Policy for EACH CAMPER you are registering. Should you wish to keep a copy of this policy, please let us know and we would be happy to provide you with one.

We would like to inform you of the Fresh Air Family Camp Behavior Policy in order to establish a clear plan of action for addressing disruptive or inappropriate behavior that may occur during our programs. Every camper must be able to express themselves verbally at age-appropriate level, work independently and follow verbal directions.

Although there has always been a zero-tolerance stance regarding behaviors that lead to disruption of activities or physical harm to others, this policy is to familiarize you with our procedures when dealing with offenses that require disciplinary action.

Offenses include but are not limited to: disruptive behavior during sessions, brandishing inappropriate or dangerous items, name calling, use of foul language, hitting, kicking, pushing and any other intentional harm to others and/or running away from the camp or instructors, which could cause a safety issue. Please read and acknowledge this form to complete camp registration.

The following actions will be implemented in cases where a child behaves inappropriately and/or physically harms another. Warnings may be given before a strike is issued. Some behaviors will lead to the third strike. This will be referred to as the STRIKE POLICY:

First Strike:

● The first time (or after a warning has been given) the child displays any behavior listed above, a time out will be given.

Second Strike:

● The child will be removed for the remainder of the session, and the parent listed on the emergency contact will be notified.

Third Strike:

● Child will be permanently removed from camp for the remainder of the sessions.

We would like your assistance in emphasizing these rules and we ask each parent and child to read this form and commit to our Behavior Policy. In understanding this form and checking the box to acknowledge this policy during Gross Out Camp registration, individuals should be aware that their campers will be held responsible for their actions and that the offenses previously listed are not acceptable nor will be tolerated in our programs.

Please help us in our efforts to make our camps a safe and fun place for everyone. As always, we are willing to sit down with parents individually to discuss issues that may specifically involve their student.

Our hope is that we NEVER have to use the strike policy.
