I understand that every reasonable effort will be made to contact me before treatment when practical, but emergency medical care may proceed without delay if necessary for my child's safety. I accept responsibility for all medical costs incurred.

6. Concussion Acknowledgment

I acknowledge that concussion and other brain injuries can occur during running, hiking, recreation, transportation, or other camp activities through falls, collisions, or other incidents.

I grant Running Brave Distance Project permission to photograph, video record, and otherwise capture my child's image, voice, and likeness during camp Activities and to use those materials for program-related purposes including publicity, promotion, website content, social media, newsletters, fundraising, and internal communications without compensation. I understand that these materials may be shared publicly. This permission may be revoked in writing for future use only.

8. Camp Rules and Conduct

I understand that my child is expected to follow all coach instructions, camp rules, safety policies, lodging expectations, transportation procedures, and conduct standards throughout the camp. I understand that unsafe, disruptive, or inappropriate behavior may result in disciplinary action, removal from an activity, or dismissal from camp at my expense if necessary.
