RELEASE AND COVENANT AGREEMENT

Dear GLM Participant and Facility Users,

We at Gull Lake Ministries want to inform you of our safety precautions on our facility. You and your family will be required to wear safety equipment for water sports, target sports, zip lines, climbing tower, high ropes adventure course, as well as any other activities requiring protective safety gear. Even with safety equipment, we at Gull Lake Ministries want you to realize that any program and/or recreation activity has inherent dangers that no amount of care, caution, instruction or expertise can eliminate.

IT IS MANDATORY THAT THIS FORM IS COMPLETED, SIGNED, AND DATED BY THE PARENT(S)/GUARDIAN(S) OR HEAD OF THE FAMILY PRIOR TO ADMITTANCE INTO PROGRAMS OR EVENTS. YOUR FAMILY WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO ATTEND OR PARTICIPATE UNLESS WE HAVE RECEIVED THIS FORM.

In signing this document, I hereby certify that I give permission to my family to participate in the Gull Lake Ministries' programs and activities. I have signed this document as my own free act and in consideration of the agreement by Gull Lake Ministries to accept my family for their ministry programs and/or activities. I understand that pictures and videos may be taken during my time here. I hereby give permission for the use of such pictures and videos of my family for the use and promotion of Gull Lake Ministries. I understand and agree to accept all risks and consequences of attending GLM knowing that COVID-19 and other infections could occur during or after our participation at GLM, and I release GLM and any of its employees, agents, representatives and attendees of any and all liability. I give permission for my family to be transported in vehicles and watercraft for camp approved transportation and activities at Gull Lake Ministries. I have read and agree to all the terms and conditions on the back of this page for myself and my family and I understand that the terms herein are contractual and not a mere recital.

Signed by Adults (age 18 and up)/Parent(s)/Guardian(s):

Please list all family members attending and/or participating at Gull Lake Ministries. NOTE: List only minor children you are legally responsible for, as you cannot sign a release and covenant form for someone else's child (e.g. your child's friend or your grandchildren)
