I recognize that there may or may not be risks involved in participating in any activity. I hereby assume all risk of injury, harm, damage, or death to my minor child in connection with his/her participation in an activity at or through The Lutheran Church of the Holy Spirit.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, I release The Lutheran Church of the Holy Spirit, its trustees, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives from any injury, harm, damage or death which may occur to my minor child while participating in the activity and agree to save and hold harmless The Lutheran Church of the Holy Spirit, its trustees, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives from any claims arising out of my minor child’s participation in an activity. Further, being the parent or legal guardian of my minor child, I do consent to any medical, surgical, x-ray, anesthetic, or dental treatment that may be deemed necessary for my minor child. I understand that efforts will be made to contact me prior to treatment but, in the event I cannot be reached in an emergency, I give permission to the activity leader to make the decisions necessary for treatment. As parent or legal guardian, I understand that I am responsible for the health care decisions of my minor child and agree that my insurance plan is the primary plan to pay for the medical, dental, or hospital care or treatment that is given to my minor child.

The taking of prescription medication is the responsibility of the individual taking the medication and/or that individual’s parent or guardian. A leader, after obtaining all the necessary information, may agree to accept responsibility to be sure a minor takes the necessary medication at the appropriate time, but LCHS does not mandate or encourage a leader to do so.
I have read and accept all of the provisions specified in this form.
