Disclaimer
Volunteers who participate in activities at Hartford’s Camp Courant understand that Camp is in a rural area with a dense outdoor setting open to natural elements. Participating as a volunteer at Hartford’s Camp Courant will include inherent or other risks, hazards, and dangers that can cause or lead to injury, illness, mental or emotional trauma, paralysis, disability or death to participants or others. Some, but not all of the risks, may include a hazardous environment, equipment that may fail, or unpredictable weather conditions. By participating, I understand that Hartford’s Camp Courant cannot ensure a volunteer’s safety or eliminate all of these potential risks.
Understanding the above, I agree to release and hold harmless Hartford’s Camp Courant and its agents, officers, employees, representatives, from any and all liability, claims, suits, demands, judgments, costs, interest and expense (including attorneys’ fees and costs) for any other loss, damage or injury, including that caused by negligence, that may occur during my time involved volunteering at Hartford’s Camp Courant, including participation in any activities, programs, events, transportation, or field trips.
Hartford’s Camp Courant does not have medical staff on-site at all times, although during the camp season we do have medical staff available to us on standby. We are also in close proximity to medical facilities, but volunteers should be aware that medical assistance may not be immediately available to them. In the event of an injury requiring medical attention, I hereby grant permission to Hartford’s Camp Courant staff to attend to my medical needs and I grant permission for necessary and/or emergency medical treatment to be given. In addition, I hereby give permission to Hartford’s Camp Courant staff to take me to a physician, dentist, or to the hospital if an accident or serious illness occurs while I am at camp or on a camp field trip. Volunteers are responsible for their own medication while on camp grounds and must maintain such medication for their own use in the original containers. Camp staff will not be responsible for administering such medication, and volunteers are strictly prohibited from bringing any medication or controlled substance onto Camp grounds that has not been prescribed to the volunteer and/or is being used for unauthorized or inappropriate purposes.
I hereby agree that all photographs, videos, negatives, prints, paintings, drawings, sketches, reproductions, and likenesses of any kind made of me while at camp are and shall remain the property of Hartford’s Camp Courant, its successors, and assigns. I give my irrevocable consent that said works, or any part thereof, may be published, displayed, reproduced, and circulated in any form by Hartford’s Camp Courant or anyone else authorized by Hartford’s Camp Courant with or without my name, for commercial purposes or otherwise, including advertisement in any media, and with or without any testimonial copy or other form of advertising or display. In addition, volunteers are prohibited from taking pictures or images of campers and/or using such pictures or images without the written permission of Hartford’s Camp Courant.
