This is a legally binding Consent Form and Release of Liability made voluntarily by me, the undersigned Releasor, on my own behalf, and on behalf of my heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, and assigns to the Lutheran High School Association and its constituents (hereinafter "LHSA").

The undersigned hereby acknowledges that participation in the above-named activity involves an inherent risk of physical injury and assumes all such risks. The undersigned hereby agrees that for the sole consideration of the LHSA allowing the undersigned to participate in the above-named for which or in connection with which the school has made available any equipment, facilities, grounds, or personnel for such program or activities, the undersigned does hereby release and forever discharge the LHSA and its constituents, its members individually, and its officers, agents, and employees of any and all claims, demands, rights and causes of action of whatever kind of nature, arising from and by reason of any and all known and unknown, foreseen and unforeseen bodily and personal injuries, damage to property, and the consequence thereof, resulting from participation in or in any way of connecting with the above-named activity.

In an emergency, I acknowledge that I am solely responsible for all medical and other costs arising out of bodily injury or any loss sustained through participation in this activity. I authorize program staff to secure any licensed hospital, physician, and/or medical personnel any treatment deemed necessary for the participant's immediate care.

By agreement of this waiver, I accept and assume full responsibility for any and all injuries, damages, and losses of any type, which may occur to me, and I hereby fully and forever release and discharge the LHSA and its constituents, officers, employees, and insurers including any self-insurance funds of the State from any and all claims, demands, damages, rights of action, present and future, whether the same be known or unknown, anticipated or unanticipated, resulting from or arising out of my participation in this activity.

I understand that the acceptance of this release and waiver of liability by the Lutheran High School Association shall not constitute a waiver in whole or in part of sovereign immunity by said association, its constituents, members, officers, agents, and employees.

I have read the above carefully. Further, I understand that this release and waiver of liability is bonding.

My check below indicates that I have read, understand, and acknowledge the Parent and Student Concussion Information Sheet provided by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services and the Lutheran High School Association here: https://www.lhsa.com/forms

We hereby affirm that we are aware of the inherent risks and hazards of the summer programs offered at Lutheran Northwest and by signing this release, certify that we are cognizant of those risks. We understand and agree that neither the Lutheran High School Association nor any of its employees and agents may be held liable in any way for any occurrence, including rescue operations, in connection with the course/camp which may result in injury, death or other damages to me or my family, heirs, or assigns, and in consideration of being allowed to participate in this camp, we hereby personally assume all risks in connection with said camp and activities related thereto for any harm, injury or damage which may befall me and further to save and hold harmless the program, Lutheran High School Association, and all persons associated therewith from any claim by us, or our families, estates, heirs, or assigns arising out of enrollment and participation in this course.

This is signed by the camp participant and his or her legal guardian and parents with their consent. We understand that the terms herein are contractual and not a mere recital and that this has been signed freely and voluntarily. It is the intent of the signers hereto to exempt and release the Lutheran High School Association and all of its agents from derivative damage caused by anyone’s act, error, omission or negligence.

We believe that using student photos in our print and web publications helps foster a greater sense of community. Photography and video recordings from our events help the Lutheran High School Association to display the enthusiasm of our community. We use photos to enhance the quality of our print materials, newsletters, websites, social media, publicity, and fundraising. We also use photos to further our efforts in education, support, and outreach. As a participant in LHSA events, you have a right to opt out of inclusion in photographs/media, but unless a “Photography Opt-Out Form” is signed and on file at the school office with a reference image of the person opting out, participation in school activities implies permission for the use of images taken at those events. I hereby grant the LHSA, and/or their legal representative, permission to use photos and videos of my student(s) in school publications, yearbooks, websites, and media. I waive any right I may have to approve the finished product. I hereby release the LHSA, their representative, or those for whom they are acting, from any liability for any violation of any personal proprietary right I may have in connection with the use of the above-stated images. If you'd like to opt-out, the "Photography Opt-Out Form" is available here: https://www.lhsa.com/forms

We have fully informed ourselves of the contents of this Release and Affirmation by reading and understanding it before we signed it.
