For valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, I do hereby authorize Auburn University, and those acting pursuant to its authority to:

1. Record my child’s participation and appearance on video tape, audio tape, film, photograph or any other medium.
2. Use my child’s name, likeness, voice and biographical material in connection with these recordings.
3. Exhibit or distribute such recordings in whole or in part without restrictions or limitation for any educational or promotional purpose which Auburn University and those acting pursuant to its authority, deem appropriate.

I further release Auburn University and those acting under its authority from any and all claims of damage for libel, slander, invasion of the right of privacy or any other claims based on, arising out of, or connected with the use of said recordings.

Rules Campers and Parents Need to Know:

1. Participants are to remain on campus for the duration of the program.
2. Campus regulations prohibit the use of alcohol and other illegal substances. Participants may not possess, use, distribute, or sell alcoholic beverages, drugs, firearms, weapons or fireworks.
3. Participants must attend all workshops, classes, and planned recreational activities. Full participation is the only way a participant can gain real value from the camp.
4. Participants must never misuse internet privileges. Attempting to access unauthorized sites is strictly prohibited.
5. Participants must abide by rules and guidelines set by the instructors for each academic facility in use.
6. In accordance with state law, smoking is prohibited by anyone under the age of 19. Smoking is not permitted on the Auburn University Campus.
7. Any individual found tampering with any fire equipment (i.e. fire extinguishers, fire alarms, smoke detectors, etc.) will be dismissed from camp immediately. Participants may not interfere with any security system or tamper with locks in participant rooms and other areas.
8. All furniture must remain unchanged and kept in place.
9. Vandalism and pranks will not be permitted. Any damages caused in rooms or common areas will be charged to the responsible party. Replacement cost will be charged to anyone who removes or damages University property.

Disciplinary Procedures:

Each camper has a reasonable expectation to enjoy a positive camp experience. Therefore, the misbehavior of one camper, or a group of campers, should not be permitted to impact negatively on the camp experience of others. Most camps are short in duration, so prompt action is required when problems occur. Parents and campers should be aware of the disciplinary policy.

First Offense: Campers failing to adhere to camp rules, or exhibiting behavior clearly intended to annoy or endanger other campers, will be privately and formally warned by a Camp Counselor and informed that subsequent misbehavior will result in formal counseling by the Camp Director.

Second Offense: Subsequent misconduct will result in counseling by the Camp Director and a warning that further misconduct will result in removal from camp. At this point, the Camp Director will contact the parent or guardian to advise him/her of the situation and the possible need for picking the child up from camp if there is further misconduct.

Third Offense: Any further inappropriate behavior will result in counseling by the Campus Sponsor of the camp and expulsion from camp.

Note: Auburn University expects each camper to have a successful camp experience. Any of the steps outlined above may be omitted or repeated at the discretion of camp staff. Campers dismissed from camp for disciplinary reasons will not receive a refund of any fees paid to attend camp.

It should be understood this procedure is intended to provide a reasonable and consistent method for dealing with the type of behavior that can be disruptive to a camp, but is not so egregious as to warrant immediate dismissal from camp. It in no way precludes immediate dismissal from camp for more serious disciplinary problems or violations of campus or camp regulations. A serious disciplinary problem is defined as one in which the camp staff determines that a child is engaging in inappropriate behavior that includes, but is not limited to the following: actions which put the camper, other campers, or camp staff member’s safety in jeopardy; physical, emotional, or electronic harassment/harm against self, camp staff or fellow camp participants; inflicting physical or emotional harm on self or others, vandalism or destruction of University property; theft of University property or the property of another camper; consistently disrupting the program; possession of alcohol, drugs, or weapons; fighting; sexual harassment; or behavior that is serious enough to warrant a third offense.

Parent and Camper Pledge:
I/we understand the disciplinary procedures described above. I/we understand failure to demonstrate proper conduct during camp may result in early dismissal from camp without any refund of fees paid to attend. I/We pledge to abide by all camp rules and to exercise good behavior and proper respect for others.

I, the undersigned, wish for my child to participate in the above referenced on the date(s) and location indicated above and, in consideration for my child’s participation, I hereby agree as follows:

I acknowledge, understand and appreciate that as part of my child’s participation in the Camp there are dangers, hazards and inherent risks to which my child may be exposed, including the risk of serious physical injury, temporary or permanent disability, and death, as well as economic and property loss. I further realize that participating in the Camp may involve risks and dangers, both known and unknown, and have elected to allow my child to take part in the Camp.

I, on behalf of my child, hereby release Auburn University, its Board of Trustees, Administration, Faculty, Staff, Student Leaders, the Office of Outreach Global, the Camp Staff, and all other officers, directors, employees and agents from any and all liability as to any right of action that may accrue to my heirs or representatives for any injury to my child or loss that my child may suffer while training, preparing, participating and/or traveling to or from the Camp. This agreement is binding on my heirs and assigns.

I, on behalf of my Child, furthermore release, indemnify and hold harmless Auburn from and against any and all liability, actions, debts, claims and demands of every kind whatsoever, specifically including, but not limited to, any claim for negligence or negligent acts or omissions and any present or future claim, loss or liability for injury to person or property that my child may suffer, for which my child may be liable to any other person, that may or does arise out of my child’s participation in the Camp. I understand that Auburn accepts no responsibility for my child’s personal property.

In the event of an accident or serious illness, I hereby authorize representatives of Auburn to obtain medical treatment for my Child on my behalf. I hereby hold harmless and agree to indemnify Auburn from any claims, causes of action, damages and/or liabilities, arising out of or resulting from said medical treatment. I further agree to accept full responsibility for any and all expenses, including medical expenses that may derive from any injuries to my Child that may occur during his/her participation in the Camp.

This RELEASE shall be governed by and construed under the laws of Alabama. I agree that any legal action or proceeding relating to this RELEASE, or arising out of any injury, death, damage or loss as a result of my child’s participation in any part of the Camp, shall be brought only in Lee County, Alabama.

My signature on this document is intended to bind not only myself and my Child but also the successors, heirs, representatives, administrators, and assigns of myself and my Child.
