Untitled - Girl Scouts Heart Of Central California

the USA’s national safety publication, Safety Activity
Checkpoints. Any adventure, sport, or activity contains an
element of risk. Although risk cannot be altogether eliminated,
it can be minimized through participant education, use of
proper safety gear, and trip preparation. Many of our outfitters
require parents or guardians to sign a release of liability form
before allowing the campers to participate in the program. By
signing a waiver you have not signed away the rights of your
minor children. According to legal counsel, waivers are not
effective in protecting against claims related to injuries
sustained by children when negligence is involved.
Unfortunately, in today’s climate, everyone wants to try to
protect themselves against lawsuits. If your camper’s program
requires a form it will be included in the final mailing. Please be
sure to read the form carefully and bring them with you to the
bus stop.

requirements were fulfilled in newsletters on our e-camp
website http://menzies.ecamp.net. It is free to register for this
site, a flyer with the code and information on how to register will
