MEDICAL AUTHORIZATION AND RELEASE STATEMENT (agreement, indemnification, and assumption of risk) *
I hereby give permission to medical personnel selected by school or Dunes Learning Center (DLC) staff to order X-rays, routine tests, necessary treatment and transportation. I hereby give permission to the physician selected by DLC staff to secure and administer treatment; including hospitalization, injection, anesthesia, surgery, and transfusion. I agree to pay all costs associated with that treatment and transportation. It is expressly understood and agreed that DLC shall not be responsible or legally liable for any losses of personnel property or for any bodily injuries, or the results thereof, incurred and suffered by the applicant or in connection with any activities or programs, unless such loss or injury results directly from the negligent or willful act of an employee of DLC acting within the scope of his/her employment. DLC educational and/or adventure and recreation activities on or off DLC premises (which may be scheduled or unscheduled, supervised or unsupervised or occur during free time), may include, but are not limited to: hiking & backpacking; camping; swimming; cross-country skiing; snowshoeing; service and research projects; and wildlife and nature observation. I acknowledge that the inherent and other risks, hazards and dangers of these activities can cause injury, damage, or other loss to participant or others.
