Wildlife The remote area in which Stoney Creek is located contains wild animals and insects, including venomous snakes, poisonous insects and plants and potentially dangerous animals. The behavior of wildlife is unpredictable. Emergency medical attention may not be available and the camper is solely responsible for having an adequate supply of medication readily available to treat any and all allergic reactions of that camper to insect bites and stings or contact with plants. Conduct of other campers, visitors and staff: Other campers, visitors and staff may misjudge conditions and capabilities and otherwise act carelessly, including violation of rules and policies. The risks described above and others may result in loss or damage to a camper’s property, personal injury and even death. The risks are inherent in the activities of the Camp and moving about its premises -- that is, without such risks, the camp experience would lose its value and appeal. Although STONEY CREEK may take precautions to reduce the risks of participating in the Program, safety – the elimination of risk - is not possible or desirable. Assumption of Risks I, an adult camper, or Parent, assume and accept all the risks and dangers of participating in the Program, whether or not described above, and including the possibility of the negligence of staff and others. If I am the Parent of a minor camper I give my child permission to participate in all activities. I have discussed the activities and risks with the minor camper who assures me that he or she understands them and wishes to participate nevertheless. Release and Indemnity: I, an adult camper or Parent of a minor camper (Parent, for myself and, to the extent allowed by the laws of the state of Texas, on behalf of the minor camper) hereby release and agree not to xxx The Stoney Creek Foundation, a Texas nonprofit corporation, and its directors, officers, employees, staff and independent contractors (the "Released and Indemnified Parties) with respect to any and all claims of injury, disability, death, products liability (including strict liability), breach of contract or other loss or damage to person or property suffered by me or by the minor camper, arising in whole or part from my (or the child’s) participation in activities of the camp or otherwise being on its premises. In addition, I agree to indemnify (that is, defend and satisfy by payment or reimbursement, including costs and attorney’s fees) the Released and Indemnified Parties from any and all such claims brought by me or by or on behalf of the minor camper, another camper, a member of my, or the minor camper’s, family, or anyone else, arising out of or in any way related to a loss suffered by me or the child, or caused by me or the child. These agreements of release and indemnity include claims of negligence, but not the gross negligence or intentionally wrongful conduct of a Released and Indemnified Party.
