CanIL Waivers

Page 1 - Introduction

This form contains two separate waivers for you to read over and sign: 

The first waiver is the Community Life Waiver. CanIL places a high value on community, and as a result, we host many events and activities to help build community life. The summer session has a particularly high concentration of community life events. The Community Life Waiver is a Release of Liability, Waiver of Claims, and an Assumptions of Risk and Indemnity Agreement.

The second form is the Photo Consent Form. As with most group events and activities (even online ones), photos are often taken. This consent form allows you (the participant) to have a say in how photographs (containing your image, taken at CanIL events, by someone representing CanIL) may or may not be used.

If you are married and your spouse is also participating in CanIL events, please have your spouse sign these waivers as well. Also, if you have adult children (over the age of 18) with you at CanIL, please have them sign individual forms.

You will only need to sign this form once, and you will receive a copy of this form with your signature at the email address you provide below. It is your responsibility to let us know if your responses change for any reason. If you need to change your response, you can fill out a new response, which will override your previous response(s).

If you have any questions, please contact the Director of Community Life.

Page 2 - CanIL Community Life

The Community Life program during the summer session at CanIL, is an integral part of the growth and training that you will experience here. This involves camping trips, brunches, Snax and Pix, t-shirts, and outings of all sorts. Summer community life is additionally and significantly subsidized by CanIL because we see great benefit in being together outside the classroom as much as in the classroom. 

All Summer@CanIL students, faculty and staff must sign the Community Life Waiver on behalf of themselves and any participating dependent children. Spouses must also sign the Community Life Waiver. 

If you have questions related to the Community Life Waiver or this requirement, please talk with the Director of Community Life.

You must read this agreement, sign consent, and submit your response before participating in any CanIL events.

This consent form only pertains to images of yourself (the signee). By signing this consent form below, you are NOT giving CanIL and its partners permission to use photos of dependent children. Photos of minors (anyone under 18) will never be used in any promotional material without explicit permission from their parents or guardians.

Please note that if you give CanIL permission to use your photos, the CanIL Communications department will still seek your permission before actually using specific photos or video that feature your image prominently. If you do not like the image, or would prefer that it not be used in a specific way, you will be able to decline at that time. 

Please also note that due to the sensitive nature of where some students or staff work or are from, do not take or post photos of anybody without their permission.

 to remove yourself from contexts where official CanIL group photos or videos are being taken, and let the photographers know that you would like to be excluded from any public use media. Beyond this, it is your responsibility (as needed) to monitor any casual photos that may occur in community with friends.
