CONSENT TO TREAT: The health history reported on page one and two are correct and complete to the best of my knowledge. I hereby permit the camp to provide routine health care, administer over the counter medication, assist in administering participant’s prescription medications as needed, and seek emergency medical treatment including ordering x-rays and routine tests. I agree to the release of any records necessary for treatment, referral, billing, or insurance purposes. I permit the camp to arrange necessary related transportation for my child. In the event I cannot be reached in an emergency, I hereby permit the physician selected by the camp to secure and administer treatment, including trips off camp property. CODE OF CONDUCT: I have read and discussed the Camp Code of Conduct with my participant. We (parent/guardian and participant) understand and agree to comply with the guidelines. Violations may result in loss of privileges, removal from camp with no refund, assessment of a damage fee for which I will be responsible for paying, and/or ineligibility to participate in future 4-H events. An incident report will be completed for major violations. ASSUMPTION OF RISK, RELEASE OF LIABILITY, and PERMISSION TO PARTICIPATE: I acknowledge that there are certain risks, hazards, and dangers, including the risk of physical injury, disability, or death and risk of loss of use or damage to my personal property as a result of allowing participation in the camping program. Risks include but are not limited to recreational games and traditional camp activities, transportation accidents, weather-related hazards and natural disasters, infectious diseases, the possibility of slips and falls, pinches, scrapes, twists, and jolts that could result in scratches, bruises, sprains, lacerations, fractures, concussions, or even more severely debilitating or life-threatening hazards. I understand that injury or loss may result from unknown or unexpected risks and the use of equipment, materials, or facilities recommended by the University of Kentucky; environmental conditions; from the acts or omissions of others; or from the unavailability of immediate and adequate emergency medical care. I understand that the University of Kentucky does not guarantee the personal health or safety of participants, nor does it protect against the risk of loss of personal property. In consideration for allowing my child to participate in the camping program, I do hereby release the University of Kentucky, the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service, the county Extension District Board(s), the 4-H Camp, Kentucky State University and their trustees, directors, officers, members, agents, employees, volunteers, and assigns from any and all liability, damages, cost, and expenses arising out of or relating to bodily or psychological injury, loss of life, or personal property that may occur as a result of participating in the camping program. I understand that my child’s participation in the Kentucky 4-H Summer Camping Program is based on the challenge by choice philosophy. I recognize that programs are designed to use experiential, engaging teaching techniques, but that my child’s participation is purely voluntary, always, and my child will choose his or her level of participation in any activity (including, but not limited to: high ropes, rock climbing, low challenge elements, rifles, archery, trap shooting, horses, and cave exploration).I understand that my participation in this activity may entail certain anticipated and unanticipated risks regarding personal injury or illness. I further understand and acknowledge that there is currently a COVID-19 pandemic in the U.S. and that there may be health risks associated with entering facilities and/or participating in activities and events owned or operated by the University of Kentucky or the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service. I hereby acknowledge my voluntary and informed assumption of full responsibility and liability regarding any injuries or illness, including COVID-19, that I may incur coincident to my participation in this activity.
