To Be Read and Signed by Parent/Guardian and Youth Participant
BY SIGNING THIS FORM I AM RELEASING WASHINGTON TRAILS ASSOCIATION
FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY IN THE EVENT MY CHILD IS INJURED,
DAMAGED OR KILLED WHILE PARTICIPATING IN THIS PROJECT OR EVENT
SPONSORED BY WASHINGTON TRAILS ASSOCIATION. I UNDERSTAND THAT I
COULD HAVE THIS RELEASE REVIEWED BY A LAWYER OF MY CHOICE.
Understanding the foregoing paragraph, I wish for my child to participate in this project
sponsored by Washington Trails Association (WTA). I am aware that events and projects
sponsored by WTA may involve hiking, backpacking, camping, trail games and other activities
(including but not limited to running, jumping, light contact sports); construction and
maintenance of trails and recreation facilities, and that participating in or observing these events
or projects poses certain dangers, including, but not limited to, the hazards of traveling in and
hiking in wilderness and steep mountainous terrain; using hand or motorized construction tools
(and of hiking and working in the proximity of such tools when used by others); injury or illness
in remote places without medical aid; lifting and working on often narrow and precipitous trails;
and unforeseen events caused by the forces of nature. In consideration for permitting my child to
participate in projects sponsored by WTA, I, for my family, my estate, and myself, hereby waive
any right of recovery and claims of liability against WTA, its officers, employees and agents,
including claims for bodily injury, death, personal injury and/or damage to property, and release
WTA, its officers, employees and agents from any claims made by others for personal injury or
property damage allegedly caused by me. Further, I will hold WTA harmless from any loss or
damages resulting from the foregoing waiver and release. This Release and Indemnity Agreement
is a contract, not a mere recital and thus it shall remain in effect for all projects sponsored by
WTA in which my child participates. I also give permission for my child to be photographed /
filmed and have his or her image used by WTA and their partner agencies, without royalty or
compensation.
As Parent/Guardian, I am signing on behalf of a minor, I further agree to HOLD HARMLESS
AND INDEMNIFY Washington Trails Association and its members from all liability, claims and
causes of action which the minor may have arising from the minor’s participation in activities.
The terms of this agreement shall serve as a release and indemnity agreement for my heirs,
personal representative, and for all members of my family, including any minors.
I HAVE READ AND AGREE TO ABIDE BY THE WTA LIABILITY RELEASE AND
AGREE I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE CHANGES OR SUGGEST CHANGES
TO THIS AGREEMENT, BUT I MADE NO ATTEMPT TO ALTER OR CHANGE THE
WORDING.
