AGREEMENT AND RELEASES
Compliance with Rules: All United Camps maintain a high standard of conduct and dress, based on God’s laws, which is further stated in

sexual misconduct, theft, smoking, disorderly conduct, profanity, destruction of property or refusal to cooperate fully with the camp staff.
Jewelry for body piercings (other than earrings for girls), short shorts, midriffs, halter-tops or wearing revealing or other inappropriate apparel

package. Firearms or other weapons (including pocketknives) may not be brought without the written permission of the camp director.
Under certain circumstances I am aware that a search of my belongings or living quarters may be made in my presence by camp staff.
Campers who do not comply with the camp’s rules and standards, or whose conduct or attitude undermines the positive environment and
objectives of the camp, or have made any false, misleading or incomplete statement in this application or the Health History and Examination
Form, are subject to being dismissed. If the camper is dismissed, he/she will be sent home at his or her parent’s expense.
Photo Release: By my/our signature(s) below, I/we also hereby give consent and permission to the nonexclusive, noncommercial

INSURANCE COVERAGE AND RELEASE PAGE
Personal Medical Insurance
The United Church of God is grateful to those who freely give of their time and expertise to assist in the
operation of United Youth Camps (UYC). While we place a significant emphasis on safety at UYC for both staff
and campers, accidents may happen and people may get injured. For this reason, we strongly recommend that
you carry adequate personal medical insurance. We realize that it is not always affordable. However, paying
actual hospital and doctor expenses can easily cost far more. As we review your application, this is an important
factor in determining those most suited to serve at UYC.
***************************
Supplemental Accident Insurance
We realize that your personal insurance may require you to pay a deductible and co-payments, and possibly
other costs. In an effort to help reduce the cost to you personally, the Church has been able to acquire
supplemental accident medical coverage for a nominal cost. Though the Church is unable to provide financial
assistance beyond what is offered through this insurance, we are happy to include all campers as well as staff
volunteers in this coverage, particularly since they are not covered by Workers’ Compensation. The extent
(amount and period) of accident coverage may vary from year to year. If you are accepted as a camper or
approved to serve as a UYC staff member, a copy of the coverage will be supplied upon request.
***************************
Release and Waiver
I have read, fully understand, and agree to comply with all the rules and standards of this preteen camp and its
staff. I understand and agree with its implications and the stated consequences. I also affirm that the
information given in this application is true and complete and that I (or my child) am in good health and able to
participate in the expected activities and routine for this preteen camp. In consideration of being allowed to
participate, I hereby release, indemnify, save and hold harmless and covenant not to sue the United Church of
God, an International Association, its officers, Council of Elders, agents, employees, volunteers and helpers
and any other related entity (hereinafter collectively called the “Church”) from all actions, claims, demands or
suits which are based upon, or result from a medical condition or injuries sustained, arising out of, or in the
course of, participation or attendance at camp. This release, however, shall not apply to claims covered by the
Church’s liability insurance (e.g. for its negligence) , but is applicable to claims not covered by that insurance. It
is strongly recommended that you have your own medical insurance protection since participants are involved
in activities at their own risk.
