Risk and Release of Liability

I understand that during my participation in this Adventure Learning trip, I may be exposed to a variety of
hazards and risks, foreseen or unforeseen, which are inherent in each trip and cannot be eliminated without
destroying the unique character of the trip. These inherent risks include, but are not limited to, the dangers of
serious personal injury, property damage, and death (“Injuries and Damages”) from exposure to the hazards of
travel and Adventure Learning has not tried to contradict or minimize my understanding of these risks. I know
that Injuries and Damages can occur by natural causes or activities of other persons, animals, trip members,
trip leaders and assistants or third parties, either as a result of negligence or because of other reasons. I
understand that risks of such Injuries and Damages are involved in wilderness travel such as Adventure
Learning trips and I appreciate that I may have to exercise extra care for my own person and for others around
me in the face of such hazards. I further understand that on this trip there may not be rescue or medical
facilities or expertise necessary to deal with the Injuries and Damages to which I may be exposed.

In consideration for my acceptance as a participant on this trip, and the services and amenities to be provided
by Adventure Learning in connection with the trip, I confirm my understanding that:
•        I have read any rules and conditions applicable to the trip made available to me; and I acknowledge my
participation is at the discretion of the leader.
•        The trip begins and ends at the location where the trip officially commences with leader and participants
in attendance, as designated by Adventure Learning (“Trailhead”). The trip does not include carpooling,
transportation, or transit to and from the trailhead, and I am personally responsible for all risks associated with
this travel. This does not apply to transportation provided by Adventure Learning after the commencement
and before the end of the trip.
•        If I decide to leave early and not to complete the trip as planned, I assume all risks inherent in my
decision to leave and waive all liability against Adventure Learning arising from that decision. Likewise, if the
leader has concluded the trip, and I decide to go forward without the leader, I assume all risks inherent in my
decision to go forward and waive all liability against Adventure Learning arising from that decision.
•        This Agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by law. If any provision or any
part of any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or legally unenforceable for any reason, the
remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby and shall remain valid and fully enforceable.
•        To the fullest extent allowed by law, I agree to WAIVE, DISCHARGE CLAIMS, AND RELEASE FROM
LIABILITY Adventure Learning, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and leaders from any and all liability
on account of, or in any way resulting from Injuries and Damages, even if caused by negligence of Adventure
Learning, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and leaders, in any way connected with this trip. I further
agree to HOLD HARMLESS Adventure Learning, its officers, directors, employees, agents, and leaders from
any claims, damages, injuries or losses caused by my own negligence while a participant on the trip. I
understand and intend that this assumption of risk and release is binding upon my heirs, executors,
administrators and assigns, and includes any minors accompanying me on the trip.
•        I have read this document in its entirety and I freely and voluntarily assume all risks of such Injuries and
Damages and notwithstanding such risks, I agree to participate in the trip.
