CONTRACT and RELEASE
1. I understand this Pioneer Trek 2014 will be held in a primitive wilderness setting. I also understand
although we will be "roughing it,” so to speak, that the Stake will provide food, restroom facilities,
and safe drinking water.
2. I am voluntarily a participant in this Trek and I will accept full responsibility for my actions under all
conditions. I also agree to aid other members of the group in behaving responsibly.
I understand and appreciate that there are inherent risks involved in this Stake-sponsored Trek which
are beyond the control of the Stake staff and Ward leaders, and I agree to personally assume such
risks. Also, the Stake staff and Ward leaders cannot be held responsible for any injuries or expenses,
costs and/or claims in connection with any injuries sustained which were not directly caused by their
failure to take due care. I hereby also agree to release the Saratoga Springs Utah North Stake and its staff and Ward leaders from any and all claims for liability arising from my participation in the Pioneer Trek 2014.
3. I agree to abide by LDS standards, including those outlined in For the Strength of Youth. This means high standards of behavior, honor and integrity; and abstinence from alcohol, tobacco and harmful drugs are required of me and every participant involved in this Trek.
4. I (and/or my guardian) agree to accept full responsibility for any medical or related expense incurred
which are not covered by my own insurance policy. Medical and dental benefits from the Church
Activity Insurance Program may be available, but they are secondary to other insurance coverage and
subject to limitations. Contact your bishop or branch president for plan coverage or a benefit claim
form in case of an accident. Please list any other required information that may be needed for insurance purposes if it becomes necessary to secure the medical services of a doctor or hospital. This could include insurance preauthorization phone numbers, name and Social Security number of the insured employee, whether it is necessary to contact a primary care physician, etc. Note: Parents of youth will be contacted, if at all possible, before securing the medical services of a doctor or hospital in the case of an emergency.
