B. RISK OF ACTIVITIES: I understand and agree I understand agree that there exist foreseen and unforeseen risks of harm associated with participating in the Monmouth University Camp which may give rise to bodily injury and/or property damage. These risks include, but are not limited to, those hazards associated with strenuous activity, exposure to heat or cold weather, exhaustion, dehydration, broken bones, concussion, torn appendages, dislocations, bruises, cuts, and any other injuries that may result in physical contact with others. I further understand and agree that there may be risks and dangers not known or reasonably foreseeable at this time. I understand and agree that included within the scope of this Assumption of Risk and Release is any cause of action, arising from the performance of or the failure to perform maintenance, inspection, supervision or control of the activities, or the failure to warn of existing dangerous conditions not known to or reasonably discovered by Monmouth University, except to the extent that such loss or liability arises out of the gross negligence or intentional acts of Monmouth University. I understand and agree that it is strongly recommended that I consult with a physician before my child participates in the Monmouth University Camp to determine any potential hazards that may adversely affect my child’s participation. I am aware of no impairment that would interfere with my child’s participation in the activities. I have consulted with a medical doctor with regard to my child’s personal medical needs. There are no health-related reasons or problems that prevent or restrict my child’s participation in this camp. I knowingly and voluntarily assume full responsibility for these risks arising out of or related to my child’s participation in the Monmouth University Camp.

C.

In consideration of my child being permitted to participate in the Monmouth University Camp for which I have indicated my permission above, on behalf of my child, myself, my family, heirs, personal representatives, I hereby voluntarily agree to release, waive, discharge, hold harmless and defend and indemnify Monmouth University, its respective trustees, officers, directors, agents, employees, students and volunteers from any and all liabilities, claims, actions, or demands for damages, including reasonable costs and attorney’s fees, for personal injury, disability, death, property loss or damage, wrongful death, loss of services, or other loss of any kind that my child or, I on behalf of my child, may sustain as a result of my child’s participation in the Monmouth University Camp, from any cause whatsoever, or for which I or my child may be liable to another person, caused by, deriving from, or associated with my child’s participation in the Monmouth University Camp from any cause whatsoever, except to the extent that such loss or damage is caused solely or in part by the gross negligence or intentional acts of MU, its employees, or agents, I understand that Monmouth University does not require my child to participate in this summer camp, but I want my child to do so, despite the possible dangers and risks and despite this Release.


D. MEDICAL EMERGENCY AUTHORIZATION AND HEALTH INFORMATION: I understand and agree that Monmouth University does not have medical personnel available at the location of the activities. In the case of injury or illness or an accident to my child requiring immediate treatment or surgery while they are a participant in this activity, I fully authorize Monmouth University, through any of its representatives, to consent to whatever action they feel is warranted under the circumstances regarding my child’s health and safety, including medical treatment, all at my own expense. This authority extends to any physician(s) and/or surgeon(s) selected by Monmouth University to perform medical and/or surgical procedures including examinations and tests necessary to preserve the health and physical well-being of my child. I understand that all efforts will be made to contact me and any emergency contacts listed in this Agreement in case of an emergency. I understand and agree that Monmouth University, its trustees, officers, directors, employees, agents, students and volunteers assume no responsibility for any injury or damage which might arise out of or in connection with such authorized medical treatment. Further, I understand that Monmouth University does not provide accident/health insurance for participants, and I assume all personal and financial responsibility for any such medical and dental care and treatment. I understand that Monmouth University is not responsible for the cost or quality of any care that my child may receive during the course of the Monmouth University Camp, or after the Monmouth University Camp for injuries sustained during the Monmouth University Camp. I further agree to hold harmless and indemnify Monmouth University, its trustees, officers, directors, employees, agents, students and volunteers for any and all actions taken by MU to provide necessary emergency medical care to my child during the camp.
