I acknowledge that participation in activities such as Equine Activities, Paintball, Climbing Wall, Archery, BB guns, Boating, Tubing, Waterslide, Rafting, etc. involves risk to the Participant (and to Participant’s parents or guardians, if Participant is a minor), and may result in various types of injury including, but not limited to, the following: sickness (including Covid-19), bodily injury, death, emotional injury, personal injury, property damage and financial damage. In consideration for the opportunity to participate in any of the activities described above (collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Activity”), the Participant (or parent/guardian if Participant is a minor) acknowledges and accepts the risks of injury associated with participation in and transportation to and from the Activity. The Participant (or parent/guardian) accepts personal financial responsibility for any injury or other loss sustained during the Activity or during transportation to and from the Activity, as well as for any medical treatment rendered to the Participant that is authorized by Camp Morrow or its agents, employees, volunteers, or any other representatives. Further, the Participant (or parent/guardian) releases and promises to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Camp Morrow for any injury arising directly or indirectly out of the described Activity or transportation to and from the Activity, whether such injury arises out of the negligence of the Camp Morrow, the Participant, or otherwise.
Oregon passed the Inherent Risk Bill (HB2650), which pertains to equine activities. The law states that those who choose to participate in equine activities assume an inherent risk. Horses, just because of their size and temperament, can cause injury without incurring a liability for the owner.
Release and Hold Harmless Agreement
I assume the unavoidable risks inherent in the riding, handling, and presence of horses and all horse-related activities, including, but not limited to, bodily injury and physical harm to horse, rider, and/or spectator.
