A minor participant is sometimes referred to in this Agreement as “the child,” “my child,” or “the minor.” A parent or guardian signs for himself or herself and, if permitted by law, on behalf of the minor participant. If a participant is an adult (eighteen years and older) and has an intellectual or developmental disability, the Agreement must be signed by a parent, caregiver or legal (court appointed) guardian of that participant. An adult with intellectual or developmental disability is sometimes referred to in this Agreement as “the ward” or “ward.”

These and other risks are inherent in Camp For All experience; that is, without them the adventure and value of Camp would be greatly diminished.
