Please read the following statement and sign where indicated below
Since La Vida’s beginning in 1970, we have had an excellent safety record. All activities are designed with safety in mind, and standard procedures are strictly enforced by trained staff. The La Vida policy “Challenge by Choice” means that each participant determines the level and extent of their participation. The staff will encourage participants to try each activity but will not use or allow peer pressure to force any participant to do anything they would prefer not to do. Camp activities may have more risk or danger than everyday life. As a result, this Release and Assumption of Risk has been drawn up and must be signed by each participant or the parents of minors.

I am aware that during La Vida certain risks and dangers may occur which are out of the control of the instructors. I further realize that I will be participating in activities (including high course elements 20-40 feet high and low course elements) in which the risk of an accident may be greater than in my normal way of life.
In consideration of the right to participate in such La Vida activities, I have and do hereby assume all the above risks and will hold Gordon College and the La Vida instructors harmless from all liability, actions, causes of actions, debts, claims and demands of every kind and nature which might arise in conjunction with my participation in La Vida. I also acknowledge the fact that the instructors have the right to terminate my participation in La Vida because of my health or physical condition. I agree that the decision of the instructors shall be binding upon me.
