1. I am over the age of 18.
2. I understand and agree that there are risks associated with my use of the specified Yale Forestry Camp facility, that neither GMFC nor Yale has made any representations as to the condition or safety of the Yale Forestry Camp, and I assume all the risks and responsibilities involved with my use and activity. I also agree to abide by the rules and regulations for the Yale Forestry Camp, and any other applicable laws.
3. I forever release, discharge, waive, and covenant not to sue GMFC or Yale, their officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, attorneys, predecessors, successors, contractors, and assigns (collectively “Releasees”) for any liability, claim, damage, action, cause of action, loss, cost, or expense (including attorneys’ fees) of any nature whatsoever arising out of or relating to any loss, damage, personal injury, or death sustained by me while using their facilities, including but not limited to any loss, damage, personal injury, or death caused or alleged to be caused by the negligence or future negligence of the Releasees.
4. I agree that this Release of Liability shall be binding upon me and my family, heirs, administrators, executors, personal representatives, and assigns.
5. I understand and agree that my use of the Yale Forestry Camp pursuant to this Release of Liability (including any associated fees) shall not affect the statutory protections afforded to GMFC and Yale pursuant to Conn.
