Medical Authorization
I represent that the medical information I have provided above is current, accurate and complete. I authorize NatureBridge staff to administer first aid, including, where permitted by applicable law, the administration of epinephrine by auto-injector, as well as the administration of “over the counter” medications, including aspirin, Tylenol, ibuprofen, Benadryl, Neosporin, Imodium, laxatives and similar medications. If my Minor Participant has a known life-threatening allergy, or if I have been advised by a health-care provider that the Minor Participant should be prepared for a possible serious allergic reaction, my Minor Participant has been provided with auto-injectable epinephrine and has been instructed by a physician as to its use; in addition, I have instructed my Minor Participant to have the auto-injectable epinephrine on their person and available at all times during the Program. If my Minor Participant is enrolling in the Program as part of a school or other group, I have also informed the person in charge of the school or other group of this allergy and any applicable physician -prescribed protective measures. I confirm that I have, or my Minor Participant has, the ability to hike up to 5 miles per day with up to a 2,000 feet elevation gain without presenting a risk of harm to myself, my Minor Participant, and/or others. I authorize any adult chaperone or member of NatureBridge staff to obtain medical care for my Minor Participant (or for me, if I am unable to consent), and hereby consent to any X-ray, examination, anesthetic, diagnosis, treatment and/or hospital care that may be recommended by a licensed physician and/or dentist. In the event of minor illnesses or injuries, I understand that NatureBridge will attempt to contact me at the earliest practicable opportunity. In the event of a major illness or injury, I understand that NatureBridge will attempt to contact me before the commencement of any medical treatment, unless my Minor Participant’s condition is such that treatment must be commenced immediately before contact with me can be made. If I cannot be reached, this authorization remains in full force and effect.
I agree to assume full financial responsibility for the costs of any early departure, back-country evacuation, and/or medical care or treatment that I or my Minor Participant may receive (including transportation to and from the Program). I understand that NatureBridge may find it necessary to terminate the Program or an activity within the Program, whether due to forces of nature, medical necessity, problems in the group or other reasons that NatureBridge, in its sole discretion, deems prudent, and agree that it may do so. I understand that NatureBridge reserves the right to refuse participation to any person who NatureBridge determines, in its sole discretion, may present a risk of harm to themselves or others, and agree that it may do so.
