I (the undersigned) for the student indicated above, apply to Oasis Community Church to participate in the activity described and indicated above ("Activity"). I acknowledge and agree to, and represent, the following for myself and the student, in consideration of the opportunity to be provided by the Church (contingent upon its agreement to my child's and/or my participation).
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RISKS. I acknowledge that participating in the Activity involves risks of serious damage and harm to persons and property, and even death, and I assume those risks, including risks arising from acts or failures to act of the Church.
RELEASE. THIS DOCUMENT IS INTENDED TO ABSOLVE THE CHURCH OF ANY LIABILITY TO ME OR THE STUDENT THAT IS RELATED TO THE STUDENT'S PARTICIPATION IN THE ACTIVITY.

Such liability includes any liability that arises or is alleged to arise from the Church's negligence (but not its willful and wanton misconduct). Such liability also includes any liability that arises or is alleged to arise from claims for contribution by another that the student or I have sued or from whom the student or I have received compensation.
MEDICAL PERMISSION. I give my permission for the student to be treated for illness or injury sustained while participating in the Activity, including by the administration of emergency anesthesia or surgery; and authorize the adult leaders of the Activity to act on my behalf in ordering such treatment.
