I hereby grant camper named above permission to participate in all activities offered by or through Camp Bloomfield. The undersigned parent, guardian, or custodian of the above named camper hereby joins in the foregoing Activity Opt-Out Form and hereby stipulates and agrees to save and hold harmless, indemnify, and forever defend Camp Bloomfield, their directors, officers, agents, employees, and volunteers from and against any claims, actions, demands, expenses, liabilities (including reasonable attorney fees) for negligence as a result of said camper’s participation in the activities of Camp Bloomfield and his or her use of the property, animals, and facilities. I, on behalf of said camper, further agree not to sue Camp Bloomfield, its directors, officers, agents, employees, and volunteers as a result of any injury that said minor suffers from negligence in connection with his/her participation in the activities of Camp Bloomfield.

I represent that said camper have no health or physical condition that will interfere with the activities stated above or cause him/her to be more susceptible to injury than the average person. If any health conditions are present, I assume the risks associated with any such health or physical condition.

The undersigned parent/guardian represents to Wayfinder Family Services that the minor named in this application is in his and/or her legal custody and control; and that the undersigned desires said minor to participate in the programs of Wayfinder Family Services, and that for purposes of said participation the undersigned agrees, authorizes and states as follows:

In case of medical or dental need or emergency, I (we) understand every effort will be made to contact parents/guardians of children. In the event I (we) cannot be reached, I (we) undersigned, parents/guardians of camper, do hereby authorize Wayfinder Family Services and its officers or staff employees as agent(s) for the undersigned to obtain and consent to any x-ray examination, anesthetic, medical, dental, surgical diagnosis, treatment and hospital care which is deemed advisable by, and is to be rendered to said minor under the general or special supervision of any surgeon licensed under the provisions of the Medical Practice Act or the medical staff of a licensed hospital or by a dentist licensed under the provisions of the Dental Practice Act, whether such diagnosis of treatment is rendered at the office of said physician or dentist or at the said hospital.

I (we) also understand and agree that any and all such medical, dental, hospital or similar expenses incurred in the treatment of my (our) child will be borne by myself (ourselves). We understand that no representation of such coverage exists or is intended by this form.

It is understood that this authorization is given in advance of any specific medical or dental diagnosis, treatment or care being required but is given to provide authority and power on the part of Wayfinder Family Services (as aforesaid) as my (our) agent(s), to give specific consent to any and all such diagnosis, treatment or care which a licensed physician or dentist in the exercise of his/her best judgment may deem advisable. The authorization is given pursuant to the provisions of Sections 25.8 of the Civil Code of California.

This authorization shall remain effective while the child is enrolled in Wayfinder Family Services’ Recreation Programs, unless sooner revoked in writing and delivered. The undersigned further releases Wayfinder Family Services, its officers, agents, and employees from any and all legal responsibility for accidents or sickness occurring during or related to the period of time said person is a participant in programs of Wayfinder Family Services. I (we) further agree and covenant (for valuable consideration, receipt of which is acknowledged) that neither said person or I (we) will institute any suite or action of damage, loss or injury of any kind, whether to person or property, whether to me (us), individually, or as parents/guardians relating to the programs or activities of Wayfinder Family Services (including but not limited to Camp Bloomfield) in which the person participates.

Current Medical Insurance is mandatory in order to participate in any recreation activity or event. Any medical costs incurred while participating in any Wayfinder Family Services’ Recreation Program (including Camp Bloomfield) shall be the responsibility of the participant’s parent or guardian. Medical costs include: physician visit, emergency room visit, prescription medication, and/or emergency transportation. It is also to be understood and agreed that any and all such medical, dental, hospital, or similar expenses incurred in the treatment of the participant will be borne solely by the parent or guardian. If a situation requires medical treatment, the parent or guardian will be contacted by a staff member and informed of the situation. Should a situation arise where the parent or guardian cannot be reached, the participant will be taken to the local emergency facility for treatment.

This is an Agreement to mediate and arbitrate all unresolved disputes arising from the educational, recreational, special education school, and residential services between the undersigned camper and/or their legal guardian and the Wayfinder Family Services.

In the event of any unresolved dispute, claim or controversy by the camper and/or their legal guardian against Wayfinder Family Services, its directors, officers, employees or agents, the student and/or their legal guardian agrees to submit such unresolved dispute, claim or controversy, including but not limited to all claims for breach of contract and civil torts, to non-binding mediation before a neutral independent third-party mediator and, if that process does not result in full resolution of the dispute, to final and binding arbitration, including, but not limited to, claims for breach of contract and civil torts.

The arbitration shall be conducted by a single-arbitrator s elected either by mutual agreement of the camper and/or their legal guardian and the Wayfinder Family Services or, if they cannot agree, from an odd-numbered list of experienced arbitrators provided by the American Arbitration Association. Each party shall strike one arbitrator from the list alternately until one arbitrator remains.

The arbitrator shall have all powers conferred by law and a judgment may be entered on the award by a court of law having jurisdiction. The award and judgment shall be in writing and binding and final on both parties.

Each party shall have the right to conduct reasonable discovery, as determined by the arbitrator and as provided in
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1283.5(a).

The parties agree to submit any unresolved dispute or unresolved controversy arising out of or relating to the terms of the Agreement to mediation, and if that process does not result in full resolution of the dispute to final and
binding arbitration by a single neutral arbitrator.

Wayfinder Family Services agrees to pay for 75% of the costs of the mediation and arbitration proceedings and the fees of the arbitrator. The remaining 25% of the costs and fees of the mediation and arbitration will be paid by the camper and/or t heir legal guardian. Recognizing that parties involved in any such dispute may have limited resources, the parties agree to endeavor in good faith to identify a mediator and an arbitrator whose fees and costs are reasonable and affordable in light of that fact.

This agreement shall continue during the period of service delivery and thereafter regarding any related disputes. This agreement may only be modified for the Wayfinder Family Services by a written agreement signed by the President of the Wayfinder Family Services.

The camper and/or their legal guardian understand that by signing this Agreement, he/she gives up his/her right to a civil trial and his/her right to a trial by jury.

If any of the provisions of this Agreement are found null, void, or inoperative, for any reason, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
