Together Safely
This is the current action steps that Albion College will have in place to stay "Together Safely" in the summer:
ALBION COLLEGE ASSUMPTION OF THE RISK AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY RELATING TO CORONAVIRUS/COVID-19
Albion College has put in place numerous preventative measures and enhanced cleaning protocols to reduce the likelihood of spreading COVID-19 at Albion College. However, Albion College cannot guarantee that you or your child will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending a Albion College summer camp session could increase your child’s risk of contracting COVID-19.
I voluntarily accept, acknowledge and agree, and will follow, as parent or guardian on behalf of my child, the following conditions or requirements.
Based on COVID-19, I verify that neither myself nor my child has any underlying health conditions making myself or my child particularly vulnerable to COVID-19, and that I have discussed my child’s participation in camp with his/her healthcare provider including considerations related to the risk of COVID-19. I verify that neither myself nor my child has shown any symptoms of COVID-19, in the past 10 days, including cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fever of 100.4◦F or higher , chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, or new loss of taste or smell.
If my child develops these symptoms, tests positive at Albion College, or becomes a close contact during the Albion College camp, my child will not be able to participate in the camp. I accept, agree and acknowledge if any of the previous conditions occur, I will pick up my child prior to the end of the day and no later than 8:00pm on the day of symptoms or of a positive test result. Additionally, if I or my child or anyone in the child’s household tests positive for COVID-19, my child will not be able to participate in the camp, and I will pick up my child under the same conditions as stated.
I acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily agree to the participation terms. I assume the risk that my child, myself, and other family members may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending any camps and activities at Albion College, and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability or death.
I agree and accept the risk that the camp could be closed at any time based on a person experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, including cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fever, chills, repeated shaking with chills, muscle pain, headache, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell, or anyone testing positive for COVID-19
Albion College will, to do the best of their ability, to require and enforce all applicable requirements which may assist in offering protection from the COVID-19 epidemic, as specified in the Center for Disease Control guidelines. These include, but are not limited to social distancing, guidelines related to sharing of supplies, crafts and equipment, and cleaning and hand washing. I understand the atmosphere of the camp may not allow perfect enforcement, and I assume the risk of my child’s participation and waive and release Albion College from all claims and liabilities of any kind related to that participation or any requirement imposed on my Child as Albion College makes their best efforts to comply with the guidelines.
I understand that the risk of becoming exposed to or infected by COVID-19 at Albion College may result from actions, omissions, or negligence of myself, my child and others, including, but not limited to, Albion College employees, volunteers, other campers and their families. I voluntarily agree to assume all of the foregoing risks and accept sole responsibility for any injuries to my child, myself, and other family members (including, but not limited to, personal injury, disability or death), illnesses, damages, losses, claims, liability, costs or expenses, of any kind (collectively, “Claims”), that I, my child and our family may experience or incur in connection with my child’s attendance at Albion College summer camps and programs.
On my behalf, and on behalf of my child, I hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless Albion College, its employees, volunteers, agents, and representatives, of and from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto. I understand and agree that this release includes any Claims based on the actions, omissions or negligence of Albion College, its employees, volunteers, agents, and representatives, whether a COVID-19 infection occurs before, during or after participation in a Albion College summer camp program.
