PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT

(INCLUDING ASSUMPTION OF RISKS, RELEASE AND INDEMNIFICATION)


REQUIRED FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS


PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS THE LEGAL RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS AND THEIR FAMILIES IN THE EVENT OF AN INJURY OR OTHER LOSS.

All Participants age 18 and older, including all teachers and chaperones, (referred to as “Adult Participants”), must sign this Participant Agreement. At least one parent or legal guardian (both referred to as “Parent”) must sign on behalf of themselves individually as well as on behalf of their minor child or ward (referred to as “Minor Participant”). The term “I” as used in this Participant Agreement refers to the Adult Participant and/or Parent. The term “Program” refers to the NatureBridge program in which a Participant has enrolled. In consideration of the Program, services, benefits and amenities provided by NatureBridge, a California Non-Profit Public Benefit Corporation, I hereby understand, acknowledge and agree as follows:

Activities and Risks


Activities vary from program to program, and may include hiking, stewardship activities (for example, plant removal and trail maintenance), backpacking, skiing, snowshoeing, snorkeling, kayaking, canoeing, other water craft excursions, camping in tents, stays in cabins or other lodging facilities, and staying one or more nights at a remote site away from camp. Some programs involve travel in NatureBridge vehicles driven by NatureBridge employees. I understand that the Program exposes Participants to a variety of risks and hazards, foreseen and unforeseen, some of which are inherent and cannot be eliminated without fundamentally altering the unique character of the Program. These inherent risks include, but are not limited to, environmental risks and hazards, including rapidly moving, deep, or cold water; plants; insect stings and bites; animals, including snakes and predators; falling and rolling rock; lightning; tree and tree limb fall; exposure to allergens, including food allergens; accidents resulting from river crossings, fordings, travel (including travel to or from the program); equipment failure; problems arising from a Participant's loss of balance or inability to follow directions; and unpredictable forces of nature, including weather that may change to extreme conditions without notice. Possible injuries and illnesses include allergic reactions, including, anaphylaxis; hypothermia; frostbite; high altitude illnesses; sunburn, heatstroke, and dehydration; infectious diseases such as Lyme disease, norovirus, plague or hantavirus; musculoskeletal injuries; and other possible serious conditions or injuries, including death. Emergency evacuation and medical care may be delayed twenty-four (24) hours or more due to the remote locations of some Program activities.

SARS-CoV-2 / Coronavirus / COVID-19 Assumption of the Risks and Release


NatureBridge has developed policies for operations based on state, county and CDC guidelines. However, COVID-19 is an extremely contagious disease that spreads easily through person-to-person contact. COVID-19 can lead to severe illness, personal injury, permanent disability and death. COVID-19 can be fatal to older people and people of any age with underlying health issues. In rare instances, children might contract “multi-system inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C)” due to potential COVID-19 exposure; while rare, this can cause serious illness or death in children. In addition, there is much we still don’t know about the novel coronavirus. Participating in NatureBridge programs or accessing NatureBridge facilities could increase the risk of contracting COVID-19. While we are taking precautions and following national and state guidelines to limit the spread of coronavirus, NatureBridge cannot warrant that COVID-19 infection will not occur through participation in NatureBridge programs or accessing NatureBridge facilities.


In consideration of being allowed to participate in any way in NatureBridge related events and activities, the undersigned acknowledges, and agrees that:


I, an Adult Participant or Parent of a Minor Participant, for myself and on behalf of such Minor Participant, agree the risk to have contact with individuals, who have been exposed to and/or have been diagnosed with one or more communicable diseases, including but not limited to COVID-19 or other medical conditions, diseases or maladies does exist, and it is impossible to eliminate the risk that myself and my Minor Participant (if applicable) and our family members and other contacts could be exposed to and/or become infected through contact with or close proximity with an individual with a communicable disease. I recognize that, while NatureBridge is taking steps to eliminate exposures, it is not possible to maintain a physical distance in a summer day camp or overnight program setting. I understand that NatureBridge is following recommendations from the CDC and other relevant organizations in social distancing, including in how they interact with myself and my Minor Participant, but will not always be able to maintain a physical distance between children, educators, chaperones or third parties. I understand that if myself and/or my Minor Participant is exposed to COVID-19 that we may also bring exposure to anyone in the household including household members who are at higher risk for serious injury or death.


I agree to the following. Please initial each one:







Assumption of the Risks


I understand that the description of the risks involved in NatureBridge activities set forth above is not complete, and that other risks may result in property loss, personal injury, or death. On behalf of myself and my Minor Participant (if applicable), I agree to assume, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all risks of participation in the Program, whether known or unknown, and whether or not such risks are described above. I understand that participation in the Program is entirely voluntary, and I consent to participation with full knowledge of the possible risks of such participation. If the Participant is a minor child, I have discussed the Program activities and risks with them, and confirm that the child wishes to participate in the Program. I confirm that I, and my Minor Participant (if applicable) is/are physically and mentally capable of participating in all Program activities. 


Release and Indemnification


I, an Adult Participant or Parent of a Minor Participant, for myself and on behalf of such Minor Participant, agree to release, indemnify, protect, and hold harmless, and promise not to sue, NatureBridge and/or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, and insurers (the “Released Parties”), to the maximum extent permitted by law, with respect to any and all claims, demands, damages, attorneys’ fees, litigation costs, losses, or liabilities, including, but not limited to, claims for property loss, personal injury and/or wrongful death, which I or my Minor Participant may suffer, arising out of or in any way related to my, or my Minor Participant’s, participation in the Program. The claims hereby released and indemnified against include those caused by or arising from the negligence of a Released Party, or any of them, but not those caused by their gross negligence or willful misconduct. 


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.


Other Provisions


I understand that during part of the Program, my Minor Participant will be under the supervision of teachers, chaperones, and other adults who are not NatureBridge employees, and who have not been selected, and are not supervised, by NatureBridge. I understand and agree that NatureBridge is not responsible for the actions of any such individuals.


NatureBridge uses independent contractors for some services, and such independent contractors, and not NatureBridge, are solely responsible for any losses or injuries caused by their acts or omissions. I understand that this Participant Agreement is intended by NatureBridge to have as broad an effect as the law permits, and that if any part of this Participant Agreement is found to be invalid for any reason, the remainder of the Participant Agreement shall remain valid and fully enforceable.


I agree that if there is a dispute between me or my Minor Participant, on the one hand, and a Released Party, on the other, such dispute will be governed by the substantive laws of the State of California, and that any lawsuit against any of the Released Parties will be filed and maintained in a court of competent jurisdiction in San Francisco County, California.


I have been advised to consult with an attorney of my choosing if I have any questions concerning the provisions and/or translation of this Participant Agreement. I certify that I have carefully read this Participant Agreement, I understand its terms, and am signing it voluntarily. I have had any questions concerning the Program answered to my satisfaction.


I understand that in the event of any dispute or issue regarding any translation of this Participant Agreement, the English version of this Participant Agreement shall control.


Photo Release


I agree that NatureBridge and/or its designees may use, without restriction or compensation, my likeness, and/or that of my Minor Participant, whether in photographs or video, as well as any writing, artwork and/or testimonials created by me or my Minor Participant and submitted to NatureBridge. NatureBridge may also conduct educational surveys involving myself or my Minor Participant and share these surveys with partner research organizations. I agree that once submitted, these materials shall become the property of NatureBridge and may be used for marketing or educational evaluation purposes.

PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT

(INCLUDING ASSUMPTION OF RISKS, RELEASE AND INDEMNIFICATION)


REQUIRED FOR ALL PARTICIPANTS


PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS THE LEGAL RIGHTS OF PARTICIPANTS AND THEIR FAMILIES IN THE EVENT OF AN INJURY OR OTHER LOSS.

All Participants age 18 and older, including all teachers and chaperones, (referred to as “Adult Participants”), must sign this Participant Agreement. At least one parent or legal guardian (both referred to as “Parent”) must sign on behalf of themselves individually as well as on behalf of their minor child or ward (referred to as “Minor Participant”). The term “I” as used in this Participant Agreement refers to the Adult Participant and/or Parent. The term “Distance Learning Program” refers to the NatureBridge distance learning program in which a Participant has enrolled.

In consideration of the Program, services, benefits and amenities provided by NatureBridge, a California Non-Profit Public Benefit Corporation, I hereby understand, acknowledge and agree as follows:

Distance Learning


NatureBridge educators will provide distance learning education services using a variety of different strategies and online platforms based on a school or group’s needs. Distance Learning may include tools such as instructional videos, online access to educational materials, virtual live sessions, pre-recorded presentations, powerpoint presentations and data collection or other work outside of the home. Distance learning may also include virtual learning sessions with individual students as needed. NatureBridge will record each learning session for the safety of both NatureBridge staff, adult Participants and Minor Participants. Parents can request a copy of any video recording or be present in the room with any Minor Participant during the Distance Learning Program. NatureBridge relies on their school or group partners to collaborate with families to determine what additional services may be needed during Distance Learning Programs. NatureBridge follows all national and state guidance on the procedures and delivery of Distance Learning Programs for schools or groups. 

I, a Parent of a Minor Participant, agree that NatureBridge staff may ask my Minor Participant to go outside of my immediate home for a fixed period of time to collect material or information and/or conduct outside observational or educational activities. NatureBridge staff will set a time and record the return of the Minor Participant to the online learning program. NatureBridge staff will not ask Minor Participants to do any activities that are farther away than the immediate premises of where they live (e.g. Minor Participants will be asked to stay in their front, back or side yard, apartment complex or grounds within view of their residence). NatureBridge staff may also ask Minor Participants to conduct surveys of local or national organizations via phone or web based research. I understand that if NatureBridge or the school or group requires Minor Participants to collect material or conduct educational investigations outside of the home for the Distance Learning Program, NatureBridge is not responsible for the health and safety of the Minor Participants. If I do not want my Minor Participant to conduct outside activities without supervision, I will inform the school or group and their representative will let NatureBridge staff know it is not allowed.

Release and Indemnification


I, an Adult Participant or Parent of a Minor Participant, for myself and on behalf of such Minor Participant, agree to release, indemnify, protect, and hold harmless, and promise not to sue, NatureBridge and/or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, contractors, and insurers (the “Released Parties”), to the maximum extent permitted by law, with respect to any and all claims, demands, damages, attorneys’ fees, litigation costs, losses, or liabilities which I or my Minor Participant may suffer, arising out of or in any way related to my, or my Minor Participant’s, participation in the Distance Learning Program or any work that requires Participants to collect material or conduct educational or observational investigations outside of the home. The claims hereby released and indemnified against include those caused by or arising from the negligence of a Released Party, or any of them, but not those caused by their gross negligence or willful misconduct.


Photo Release


I agree that NatureBridge and/or its designees may use for any purpose, without restriction or compensation, my likeness, and/or that of my Minor Participant, whether photographs, video, or any other media as well as any writing, artwork and/or testimonials created by me or my Minor Participant and submitted to NatureBridge. NatureBridge may also conduct educational surveys involving myself or my minor Participant and share these surveys with partner research organizations. I agree that once submitted, these materials shall become the property of NatureBridge and may be used for marketing or educational evaluation purposes.


Other Provisions


I agree not to share the Distance Learning Program content with anyone not enrolled or not assisting a student enrolled in the Distance Learning Program. To protect NatureBridge staff, students and teachers, unauthorized distribution of any distance learning content, including sharing video recordings or screenshots on the internet or social media, is strictly prohibited. 


I understand that this Participant Agreement is intended by NatureBridge to have as broad an effect as the law permits, and that if any part of this Participant Agreement is found to be invalid for any reason, the remainder of the Participant Agreement shall remain valid and fully enforceable. 


I certify that I have carefully read this Participant Agreement, I understand its terms, and am signing it voluntarily. I have had any questions concerning the Program answered to my satisfaction. 


I understand that in the event of any dispute or issue regarding any translation of this Participant Agreement, the English version of this Participant Agreement shall control.
