This Waiver is signed in order for you or your child to participate in this activity for his or her own personal enjoyment and benefit and is done so freely with full knowledge of the risk and dangers incident thereto. It is acknowledged that the Participant will be living in an outdoor, rustic camp facility with the inherent dangers and risks associated with camp activities, which include, but are not limited to: swimming, diving, hiking, wading, climbing, basketball, softball, and volleyball.
