This camp we will be traveling to the national park near to the place where we will be camping Saturday night. Sunday we will be going abseiling at a place which is a short walk away from the camp sight.

We will be packing the Bus Saturday morning before church so that we can be on the road as soon as possible after Church lunch.

We are planning to be back at church at 7:30pm on Sunday.

Our major activity for this camp is abseiling. Abseiling does inherit a considerable amount of risk. To deal with these risks we have compleated a comprehensive risk assessment.

Including myself, we will have 4 qualified and highly experienced staff. The pathfinders will be briefed on the processes and will be given clear instructions as they are needed. Our staff will also be checking all the equipment and will be conducting the activity according to industry standards.

When camping, or participating in any outdoor activities there are going to be risks involved. The outdoor industry calls this an acceptable amount of risk. On completing a risk assessment for this camp, it has been deemed as a low-risk activity. Our three major risks and prevention strategies are…

• Sunburn / Dehydration (Bring the hat, sunscreen, and water)
• Disobeying safety instructions (Briefing on inherent risks and consequences + monitoring)
• Trip Hazards (Briefing, covered in shoes)

I have read and understood the pre-trip information sheet for the camp running. I acknowledge that I have been made aware there is a level of risk involved in the above activity and I am accepting of this risk for myself/my child.

In the event of injury or illness, I authorize the camp directors (where it is impractical to communicate with me) to give consent on my behalf for me/my child to receive an appropriate medical treatment as may be deemed necessary by a licensed physician and/or surgeon. I agree to pay the appropriate fees for such and an ambulance or other emergency transportation costs, which may be required.

I agree to collect and/or, meet the expense of myself/my child been returned home. I understand that such an arrangement may be necessary due to illness, injury, or non-cooperation in the opinion of the camp directors.

I agree and give consent for photos and videos to be taken of myself/my child during any activity undertaken by the company. I understand that such may be used in promotion or shown in public events.
