FLORIDA MINOR RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LEGAL LIABILITY THIS IS YOUR RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY (the “Release”). You individually and on behalf on your minor child, release the Volusia Flagler Family

YMCA, Inc. (“YMCA”), its officers, directors, board members, employees, volunteers, agents, independent contractors, other participants, and/or others acting

on its behalf (collectively, “YMCA”). You agree that this Release is effective immediately.

Read this form completely and carefully. You are agreeing to let your minor child engage in a potentially dangerous activity. You are agreeing that, even if

the YMCA uses reasonable care in providing this activity, there is a chance that your child may be seriously injured or killed by participating in this activity

because there are certain dangers inherent in the activity which cannot be avoided or eliminated. By signing this form you are giving up your child’s right and your right to recover from the YMCA in a lawsuit for any personal injury, including death, to your child or any property damage that results from the

risks that are a natural part of the activity. You have the right to refuse to sign this form, and the YMCA has the right to refuse to let your child participate if

this form is not signed.

I HAVE READ THE ABOVE WAIVER, RELEASE, AND INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT:

SIGNATURE OF PARENT / GUARDIAN DATE

CONDITIONS OF YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM PARTICIPATION While the YMCA will make every attempt to provide reasonable accommodations for mentally and physically challenged children, the YMCA will not accept

children that are (1) of danger to themselves, (2) of danger to others, or (3) a disruption to the normal activities making it unreasonably difficult for other

children to enjoy YMCA programs. Any of the above reasons will be grounds for dismissal from YMCA programs. The YMCA strongly recommends that you

discuss with YMCA staff any special conditions or circumstances involving your child. The YMCA requests that the undersigned do this PRIOR to registration

so that the YMCA can advise you as to whether we can make reasonable accommodation for your child.

The undersigned understands that the YMCA is NOT responsible for personal property lost or stolen while members and/or program participants are using

YMCA facilities or on YMCA premises.

I give my permission to the Volusia Flagler Family YMCA to use, without limitation or obligation, photographs, film footage or tape recordings that may in-

clude mine and or my family member’s image(s), or voice(s) for purposes of promoting or interpreting YMCA programs. In the event of an emergency and my emergency contact person cannot be reached, the undersigned hereby gives his or her permission to the physician

selected by the YMCA to hospitalize, secure proper treatment for, and to order injections, anesthesia or surgery for the individual named on this application.

As the undersigned, I understand that no accident or medical insurance is provided with this activity.

As the undersigned, I give my permission for my child to be transported by the bus service secured by the YMCA for related programs activities.

I understand the deposit and registration fee is non-refundable except for verified medical reasons.

I accept the Conditions of Youth Development Program Participation set forth above and, being in sympathy with the Mission of the YMCA, hereby apply to

participate.

each participant that he/she may suffer emotional/physical injury.

I understand that parts of the YMCA Camp Winona Paintball & High Ropes Program may be physically and emotionally demanding. I affirm that my child is

in good health and that my child does not have any limiting physical conditions, disabilities or handicaps that might endanger him/her or other participants.

I recognize the inherent risk of injury or disability in YMCA Camp Winona Paintball and High Ropes activities. I understand that each participant must assume

the risk of physical and emotional injury that could result from any of these activities. I hereby release YMCA Camp Winona, the Volusia Flager Family YMCA,

its agents, employees and instructors from any liability what-so-ever from any injury or disability to my child resulting from my child’s participation in the YMCA Camp Winona Paintball and High Ropes Programs.

help them know what to expect and

build excitement.

Hide your anxiety. As a parent, your

child will look to you on how to act

about this new experience. Talk

about how you wish you could go!

The more conversations you have

with them, the better they will feel.

Limit screen time. Many kids don’t know life without screens. We rec-

ommend limiting screen time prior to

Camp to help them prepare to be

“unplugged!”

Do NOT tell them you’ll pick them up early or call to check in. This

prepares them to be homesick and

less likely to keep a positive attitude

or try new things.

Tell them about your first time

away from home. This lets them

know that it’s normal to miss home. And that even if they get sad, they’ll get through it!

Tell them you love them and send

them letters.

Camp Store While daily nutritious snacks are provided, campers will have the opportunity to buy

additional snacks and drinks, as well as merchandise like shirts, hats, stuffed ani-

mals, and more! Do not give your child cash to use; you will deposit money into an

account at Camp Check In. We will have the store open during Check Out to spend

any leftover money, or to grab additional swag!

There are no refunds. Any leftover amount will be donated to our Annual Campaign

to help send Kids to Camp.

We get it. Going to Camp for the first time or staying overnight away from home

can be tough and bring a lot of anxiety for any child or parent. We have some

helpful tips to prepare you both for a beneficial and rewarding experience.
