Medical Consent

The participant registered has permission to engage in all prescribed program activities unless otherwise noted. I understand that should a medical emergency arise every effort will be made to contact me or the secondary parent noted on the registration form. In the event that I cannot be reached, I give my consent for my child to receive medical treatment deemed necessary by medical professionals. I understand that I am responsible for all financial costs associated with any treatment or injuries sustained by my child.

If your child requires medications, download, print, and fill out a Medication Authorization Form upon registering. Bring it to the first day of your registered session.

COVID-19 Liability Waiver and Assumption of Risk

Friends of Tryon Creek (FOTC) has designed this policy through guidance of Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations, Oregon Health Authority (OHA), and Oregon State Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD). FOTC has considered the risks and uncertainty related to COVID-19 and RSV, and has designed programming appropriately, subject to your acknowledgement and assumption of the associated risks and responsibilities. FOTC recognizes that we cannot eliminate risk; however, by practicing proper procedures and guidelines we can greatly reduce our risk of transmission and exposure. We ask families and participants to make their own choices regarding acceptable risk. We will be monitoring pandemic updates and adjusting our policy based on the information we receive. You as the participant accept consent to the use of programming at your own risk and it will be your responsibility to limit risk through procedures recommended by government standards, including wearing face coverings, handwashing, and sanitizing.

FOTC allows program participation under the condition that you take individual responsibility for the following while attending programming:

• Usage of appropriate personal protective procedures, including   hand sanitizer and hand washing.

• Face coverings are encouraged indoors but not mandatory while attending FOTC programming in the classroom space.

• No sharing of food with other campers or instructors.

By participating in FOTC programming, you acknowledge that COVID-19/RSV is contagious and voluntarily assume the risk that you could be exposed to COVID-19 or RSV at TCSNA. You acknowledge and voluntarily assume risk that such exposure or infection may result in illness, injury or death. You also acknowledge and assume that despite best efforts, the negligence of FOTC or its staff could contribute to your exposure to COVID-19.

I acknowledge that I have read and understand the risk from exposure to COVID-19 while at FOTC programming and TCSNA. By participating, I accept and take full responsibility for my own safety and that of my children. I agree to indemnify FOTC for claims arising from mutual failure to fulfill mutual responsibilities. I will not hold FOTC and their staff, including for claims of negligence, to the extent allowed by law.
