Rates & Dates

2024 Camper Applications Terms & Conditions

• Medical Insurance and Fees

  Please ensure you have carefully read all enrolment agreement items below, including our procedures for cancellation and refunds.

  MEDICAL INSURANCE & FEES

  Medical Insurance, that includes active/sports coverage is mandatory for all campers attending our camps or canoe trips who are resident outside of the Province of Ontario. Medical coverage should include GP and outpatient care (which is usually outside the scope of most standard travel insurance policies). Canadian residents who reside OUTSIDE the province of Ontario should also check with their Provincial or Territorial Health provider that they are covered while in Ontario; if in any doubt it is highly recommended that Private Medical Insurance is purchased whilst your child(ren) is in Ontario. Notwithstanding your place of residency, your attention is drawn to our clauses below that deal with your responsibility to pay for trip evacuations and/or other medical fees.

  Travel and Cancellation Insurance is also highly recommended for all campers, and in particular for those enrolled on one of our Special Canoe Trips.

  The Taylor Statten Camps aims to accommodate most dietary and food allergy restrictions, although specific dietary considerations are not guaranteed and do not form part of this contract of sale. If you have any concerns about accommodations that can be made for your camper other than vegetarianism, gluten free, lactose free, and dairy free (which is catered for as standard), please contact the Business Office prior to registering your camper. The parents of any camper with significant food allergies, including those with dietary restrictions that the Camp can otherwise cater for, that cause anaphylaxis (or a similar life threatening action) MUST contact the TSC Business Office prior to registration, as both the TSC medical team and the kitchen staff will need to be consulted in advance of accepting an enrollment.

  Camp fees are all inclusive (activities, most supplies for arts and crafts, laundry, etc.), except for transportation, Special Canoe Trips, items purchased at tuck, sundry expenses, credit card surcharges (if paying by credit card) and Ontario sales tax (HST). These rates are for all campers including brothers and sisters. All fees are payable at par in Toronto in CANADIAN FUNDS on or before April 1, 2024. A Deposit Fee of $2000 for 2 week and 1 month sessions and $3000 for all other sessions must accompany each application.  The deposit is considered non-refundable once TSC sends written  confirmation of a place on any of our Special Canoe Trips, or as indicated in these terms and conditions. The process for assigning Special Canoe Trip requests will begin January/February 2024. Your attention is drawn to the TSC Special Canoe Trip Information & Application Policy, which form an essential part of these Terms & Conditions when applying for any Special Canoe Trip.

  We are pleased to offer credit card payments, subject to a credit card surcharge of 2.4% for all credit card transactions, including refunds. We also accept payment in Canadian funds drawn on a Canadian bank cheque, bank transfer or international money order. Email money transfers (in Canadian Dollars only) are accepted as long as the payment sent is for the entire amount owed (we are unable to accept split payments due to a limitation set by your bank on the payment amount). We do not accept foreign cheques. Do not send a non-Canadian cheque marked “PAYABLE IN CANADIAN FUNDS”, as it is not negotiable at any Canadian bank. If you are unable to pay using one of the aforementioned methods please contact our Business Office to discuss other options that may be available. Kindly note that for all enrollments made on or after May 1, 2024 full payment is required at the time of registration and therefore only a credit card may be used for payment at that time.

  All camper applications will be considered on a first come, first serve basis, depending on the availability of space, however Special Canoe Trip requests will be considered in accordance with a variety of factors (such as pre-requisites, age, cabin group dynamics, etc) and not necessarily on a first come, first serve basis.

• Conditions of Enrollment, Cancellation & Refunds

  The following shall apply to all enrollments and fees:

  1) The Taylor Statten Camps makes every effort to place campers in cabin/canoe trip groupings with the friends they request. The Camp considers cabin mate preferences (which must be mutual), in order to be taken into consideration. We ask for your cooperation and trust in our ability to place your child in a positive and cohesive cabin group. Annual progression through our camper sections is based on a complicated formula, at the full discretion of our Camp Directors, consisting of age of the camper, the age of other enrolled campers and overall enrollment, session length, and previous camp experience. TSC accepts campers between the ages of 6 & 17; not all session lengths are available to all campers. If you are unsure about the best session length for the age of your camper please contact the Business Office. There is no guarantee of a cabin placement, specified cabin mates, specified staff members, or placement in a particular camper section, regardless of any request you may make. We do not accept applications that are contingent on section or cabin grouping requests. General cabin mate dis-requests will not be accepted (although if you specifically wish for your child NOT to be placed with another camper for safety reasons please contact us for further assistance).

  2) Camper applications through this website does not constitute formal acceptance of a guaranteed place next summer at the Taylor Statten Camps, or a place on a Special Canoe Trip. In consideration of your online application, the Camp Directors will consider your application and may make some background checks and/or take up references to verify any information provided about your child(ren). Your attention to our Privacy Policy on how we collect and use your (and your children’s) personal information for this purpose is recommended. The Camp Directors reserve the right to refuse application and/or registration for any reason. A formal acceptance is mailed or emailed to the parents or guardians for each camper enrolled, upon consideration by our Directors of your online application and upon receipt of a digitally signed application, camper health form and the required deposit fee. Kindly note that TSC may provide written confirmation of particular staff or cabin mates in advance of a commencement of a Special Canoe Trip, however these are subject to change at any time, without notice, due to circumstances beyond our control. For this reason, the Taylor Statten Camps advises all campers and parents NOT to produce custom garments or other canoe trip commemorative articles in advance of trip and to wait until after the trip is complete. The Taylor Statten Camps cannot be held responsible for costs incurred contrary to this provision.

  3) The parents or guardians listed on the front of this application (referred to in this agreement as the parents) agree to pay the full fee by April 1, 2024 and to pay interest on all overdue fees at the rate of 36% per annum determined daily and calculated and payable monthly not in advance. Where interest is accrued on outstanding accounts, any sums paid to the Taylor Statten Camps will first be used to settle accrued interest owing before being allocated to outstanding invoiced amounts owing. For enrollments made on or after April 1, 2024, full fees must be paid at the time of enrollment. Kindly note that for enrollments made on or after May 1, 2024, full payment using a credit card must be made at the time of enrollment otherwise your registration may be cancelled. Please contact our Business Office if you are registering on or after May 1, 2024 but CANNOT pay by credit card.

  4) Any cancellation of enrolment must be in writing. Emails are accepted.

• Cancellations Originated by You

  No refunds shall be made except strictly as follows:

  a) if the application is withdrawn by you before its acceptance or if enrolment is cancelled on or before March 31, 2024, the fee deposit less a $500 administration fee will be refunded;

  b) if enrolment is cancelled by you on or after April 1, 2024 but on or before April 30, 2024, the fee deposit will not be refunded but all other fees then paid will be refunded; and

  c) if enrolment is cancelled by you for any reason on or after May 1, 2024, no amount will be refunded and any unpaid part of the full fee shall be payable.

  d) no amounts will be refunded for the cancellation of late enrollments by you made on or after May 1, 2024.

  e) in addition to the above cancellation terms and fees, deposits paid for Special Trip Fees are non-refundable at any time after a camper position on a Special Canoe Trip is confirmed by the Taylor Statten Camps. If your child is unsuccessful in securing a place on a Special Canoe Trip and you wish to cancel prior to acceptance of the Special Canoe Trip offered, the $500 administration fee is still payable. Application on this website is for a place at summer camp (which may include a Special Canoe Trip request).

  f) credit card surcharge fees remain non-refundable at all times.

  g) all cancellation fees are per camper, not per family.

• Cancellations Originated by the Taylor Statten Camps

  The Camp reserves the right to cancel enrollment as follows:
  a) For timely enrollments in which no deposit has been received, your registration will be cancelled on 5 April 2024.

  b) For enrollments made on or after 1 April 2024 in which full payment has not been received, your registration will be cancelled 7 days after the date of enrollment. Please note that for registrations made on or after 1 May 2024, full payment using a credit card is required at the time of registration, otherwise your enrollment may be cancelled.

  c) For timely enrollments in which the normal deposit has been paid, but where full payment has not been received by the Taylor Statten Camps on or before 1 April 2024 (which for the avoidance of doubt includes situations where a credit card used for payment is declined), the enrollment will be cancelled on 30 April 2024. Any deposit received will be refunded, less
  contractual interest incurred between 1-30 April 2024, plus a non-payment cancellation fee of $1000, plus any credit card surcharges incurred.

  Any deviation from the above late payment conditions MUST be agreed in writing with the Managing Director of the Taylor Statten Camps BEFORE the date of cancellation stated above. Any re-registrations following cancellation remain subject to these Terms & Conditions, and no credit will be given for any interest or cancellation fees already incurred.

  5. Your camper’s enrolment may, at the parents’ request, be changed from a July session to an August session (or vice-versa), accommodations permitting, at any time upon payment of a $300.00 administration fee. If a Full Session enrolment is changed to the July or August session, or if the camper is re-enrolled after a previous cancellation, a $400.00 administration fee will be charged. For a reduction in enrollment from a one month to a two-week session, or if the camper is re-enrolled after a previous cancellation, a $400 administration fee will be charged. For a reduction in enrollment from a two-week session to a Try Out session, a $300 administration fee will be charged. All administration fees are charged per camper, not per family.
  
  6. No fee refund will be made for campers arriving late or leaving early, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, for any reason. This includes (but is not limited to) all circumstances including evacuations
  from canoe trip for medical reasons, and non-disclosure to the Taylor Statten Camps of pre-existing camper medical conditions that results in an unsafe environment for both campers and staff.
  
  7. No refunds will be given to campers who are sent home due to any violation of the Taylor Statten Camps Camper Code of Conduct or the Taylor Statten Camps Policies & Procedures or for any breach of
  provincial or federal law, or for any breach of these Terms & Conditions as determined by the Camp Directors, in their sole discretion.
  
  8. In the event of cancellation or reduction of enrolment for any reason the camp does not apply deposits or fees to siblings, or to subsequent years. The financial obligations of camp are fixed for the
  season and the withdrawal of a camper does not lessen operating expenses.
  

  9. These terms and conditions will apply to all fees paid by credit cards or other means regardless of whether future payments following the initial deposit are automatically collected by credit card or by
  other means at a later agreed date as set out on our website. Cancellation, dispute, and/or reversal of credit card payments does not constitute cancellation of your payment obligations under these terms
  and conditions.

• Health & Safety Protocols, Canoe Trips and Vaccinations

  10. The Camp is committed to maintaining the confidence and trust of its campers and their parents. The Taylor Statten Camps is working closely with the Ontario Camping Association and local, provincial and federal government agencies to ensure your camper’s safety at camp and on canoe trip in regards to health and safety related protocols, and will provide regular and updated  Health & Safety Compliance Policies and Procedures that relate to camper health and safety to all registered campers from time to time. The parent agrees to read the Taylor Statten Camp Guide and related  Health & Safety compliance policies (distributed in the Spring, via the Camp Guide) for full awareness and understanding of the rules and policies of camp and to review all applicable rules/policies with their camper.
  11. The Taylor Statten Camps does not currently have a camper vaccination mandate in place, however,  the Taylor Statten Camps reserves the right to require all campers to obtain any  vaccination prior to arriving at camp, and to refuse admission (in its sole discretion) to any un-vaccinated camper should any vaccination become mandatory in the Province of Ontario.
  12. In the event the Taylor Statten Camps is required to cancel 2024 camper sessions due to any health or safety reason, it may still be possible to operate Special Canoe Trips in 2024, subject always to full compliance with health and safety related regulations. Should camper days at Ahmek and Wapomeo be limited or curtailed, the Taylor Statten Camps may still operate some or all Special Canoe Trips at its discretion (again, subject always to full compliance with health and safety related regulations), and will reimburse you, on a discounted prorated basis at an daily amount to be determined by the Taylor Statten Camps in its sole discretion, for previously paid for full days not spent at Ahmek and Wapomeo, at the discretion of the Taylor Statten Camps. Special Canoe Trips that operate with amended or pro-rated days at Ahmek and Wapomeo will not be considered a cancellation of your camper’s session or Special Canoe Trip in accordance with these Terms & Conditions.

• Additional Conditions

  1. The parents acknowledge that camp takes place in Ontario, submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Ontario courts and agree that:

  1. a) the Ontario courts shall have jurisdiction over any claim, legal dispute or cause of action arising out of camp, alleged breach of contract, or alleged negligence or other claim that leads to a legal proceeding against The Taylor Statten Camp Company Limited, its directors, officers or employees.

  1. b) if any such legal proceedings are commenced, they will be commenced and heard only in Ontario; and

  1. c) the resolution of all disputes and the provisions of this agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Ontario laws.

  2. The parent agrees to update the Camp of any camp/school issues, (suspension, discipline) or social, medical, emotional, or psychological issue that could affect his/her child or any other child, at least 4 weeks prior to their child’s arrival at camp, and then contemporaneously after that time if there are any changes, no matter how minor. No refunds will be given to campers who are sent home due to a medical condition in which their continued stay at camp is deemed unsafe as determined by the Camp Directors, in their sole discretion.

  3. The parents of the camper consent to the medical treatment of the camper by the camp doctor or any other medical doctor, as required in such doctor’s discretion, and agree to pay all hospital, prescription and over-the-counter drug charges/fees (including but not limited to emergency Epi-Pen usage and administration) and other medical fees and expenses incurred with respect to the camper and to reimburse The Taylor Statten Camp Company Limited promptly for any such fees and expenses paid by the camp (whether paid upfront by the camp or billed/paid at a later date) with respect to the camper. The parents further agree to pay all transportation charges to/from Canoe Lake and canoe trip evacuation fees from other remote locations to/from any hospital, doctor’s office, or clinic incurred by the camp (including but not limited to fees for an ambulance, sea plane, air ambulance, taxi, and/or camp vehicle).

  4. The Camp has adopted a Privacy Policy, a copy of which is available on this website. We encourage you to read this document, which forms part of these Terms & Conditions. The Camp has adopted an Accessibility Policy, a copy of which is available on this website. We encourage you to read this policy which forms part of these Terms & Conditions.

  5. The parents of the camper agree for and on behalf of themselves and the camper that any video or photographs taken of the camper by camp personnel or otherwise authorized by a camp director may be used by the camp without charge in promotional material, including brochures, slide shows, videos, social media and websites. The Taylor Statten Camps understands and respects that some parents may not wish for their camper to be photographed in certain situations (or not at all). In these circumstances, the parents of the camper agree to notify the Taylor Statten Camps, in writing, on or before 31 May 2024 of their requirements. Kindly note that for an exclusion request, even if only partial, in most cases the Taylor Statten Camps will exclude the camper from all photography (including cabin photos), as this is the only way to conclusively ensure that a “no photography” request, even if partial, can be operationally maintained and respected.

  6. The person signing this contract has legal guardianship of the camper named and acts as custodial parent for the entirety of the camper session at the Taylor Statten Camps. Any custody issues or disputes advised to the Taylor Statten Camps by any legal parent or guardian of a camper will be dealt with ONLY under the laws of the Province of Ontario, and the Taylor Statten Camp Company Limited reserves the right to refer any custody issues of campers in its care to the Children’s Aid Society or other appropriate governmental agency. In this capacity, the person signing this contract is in agreement and is aware that the camper named is attending camp and this person has the legal authority to make decisions on behalf of both parents. All parents, siblings, heirs, executors, successors or assigns agree to read the terms of this contract and agree that unless they contact us in writing they are in agreement with the terms herein.

  7. The Camp Directors have the authority to search a camper and their belongings, including mail and packages, for items prohibited at camp and on canoe trip. Prohibited items will be removed from camper belongings in accordance with our Camper Code of Conduct, a copy of which is available on this website.

  8. The parent agrees to read the Taylor Statten Camp Guide (distributed in the Spring) for full awareness and understanding of the rules and policies of camp and to review this handbook and all applicable rules/policies with the camper. The parent understands that items not permitted in camp will be confiscated, not returned to the camper, and (if applicable) destroyed.

  9. The parent of the camper acknowledges that the Taylor Statten Camps (and associated canoe trips and facilities) is a rustic summer camp for children in the wilderness of Algonquin Park (and for canoe trips in other remote areas and parks). The Taylor Statten Camps is not a holiday resort; there is no electricity, heating, or air conditioning, or washroom facilities in accommodation cabins, and the camps operate a “back to basics” approach in every aspect of daily life at camp. Cell phones are not permitted at camp, and there is no WIFI or payphone service available to campers.

  All campers are required to participate in a swim test and canoe “dunk” test upon arrival at camp to determine swimming abilities and safety considerations while the camper is in camp and on canoe trip. Test lengths are at the discretion of the Camp Directors in accordance with age/ability considerations. Campers swim in lake water (not chlorinated pools), and learn to live in harmony with nature and their surroundings. Residence in Algonquin Park (and other parks and remote areas on canoe trip) is shared with wild animals, and campers are encouraged to respect and appreciate these animals. Mosquitoes and other insects are part of camp life. Make sure that your camper has enough non-aerosol bug repellent with them.

  All campers are expected to be able to go to the toilet, and wash & dress on their own. All campers are expected to look after their own belongings and although laundry services are provided, all campers are required to regularly participate in cabin cleaning duties, section cleanliness, and assisting with the set-up before and clean-up after meals in the dining halls and on canoe trip. At meal times, food is served family style in the dining halls, with the exception of canoe trip where campers often participate in the preparation of food over open fires in a rustic manner.

  10. The swimming and canoeing activities at camp are mandatory for all campers. Participation in all other activities is voluntary although all campers are encouraged to participate in all activities. All camp activities are subject to availability.  Session lengths and age will dictate the amount of times each camper participates in each camp activity; the Taylor Statten Camps does not guarantee an overall minimum number of visits to any particular activity, or that all campers will be able to take part in each camp activity during their stay at camp. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, participation in canoe trip is mandatory for each camper, with the exception of “try-out” campers. No camper is able to remain in-camp while his/her cabin group is out of camp on canoe trip. The duration and route of a canoe trip is dependent on the age and session length of each camper, and varies from time to time.

  11. The Camp reserves the right to dismiss a camper from camp and send her or him home at the expense of the parents at any time without notice when it is deemed to be in the best interest of either the child or camp, the child has caused harm to him/herself or other campers or staff, the child is ill, or for violation of any camp rule, all as determined by camp in its sole and absolute discretion. No refunds will be provided. Parents agree to pick up their dismissed camper(s) from Camp on the same day when requested by the Camp Directors, or to make same day arrangements with the Camp Directors for either private transport and/or 3^rdparty collection of their dismissed camper(s).  Parents shall reimburse the camp for any intentional damage or defacement of camp property caused by their camper. The cost of removing graffiti or fixing broken windows will be added to the camper’s tuck bill.

  12. WE HAVE A NO CELL PHONE POLICY AT CAMP

  The purpose of this policy is to help us all get the most out of Summer Camp while minimizing distractions, unkind acts, accidents, and frustrations caused by unpermitted, improper, and inappropriate use of electronic devices. This opportunity could be one of the only times in your child’s year when they are disconnected from technology. Leaving phones at home allows campers to focus on being a kid, relationship-building and being 100% present at Camp. Cell phones and other electronic communication devices brought to Camp will be confiscated. Your camper will be responsible for obtaining the confiscated cell phone at departure. Although TSC will store confiscated electronic communication devices in a secure facility, charging is not possible and TSC cannot guarantee for operational reasons that confiscated devices will be returned at the time of the camper’s departure and may be returned at a later date. Campers who require cell phones for air travel to/from Camp will have their cell phones returned to them at the same time as their passports and travel documents.

  Counsel your child that if they need to contact home, they should speak with their counselor. Parents will be contacted by the Camp Directors if any problems arise or if their child is experiencing a challenge in adjusting to camp life.

  Cell Phones are a liability to camper safety, which can lead to bullying and unsafe environments. By removing a camper’s access to technology, we avoid possible exposure to the following:

  • Bullying via social media
  • Inappropriate materials
  • Unauthorized videos of other campers
  • Homesickness due to lack of immersion into the camp environment

  This policy applies to all TSC Campers, including Special trippers. Cell phones, iPads, iPhones, Tablets, Smart Watches, other types of electronic communication devices must not be used, heard, or handled during the camper’s entire stay at Camp. Campers will be given an amnesty upon arrival at Camp and asked to voluntarily surrender any electronic communication devices. Failure to follow these rules will have the following consequences:

  1. For the first offense, TSC staff will confiscate and hold on to the device for the remainder of the camper’s session.
  2. For the second offense or for failure to comply after the first offense, your child will be asked to leave camp and will be sent home.

  TSC can only confiscate phones that it is made aware of by the camper. We don’t search all belongings of every child coming into Camp so it incumbent upon ALL campers who MUST arrive to camp with a phone (i.e. for the purposes of international travel) to make the Camp aware that the phone is in their possession and to turn in the phone to the Camp upon arrival. Failure to do so MAY result in their dismissal from Camp.

  CAMERAS

  TSC appreciates that campers may wish to take photographs at Camp. The use of cameras at TSC is permitted as long as the camera is NOT part of an electronic communication device and does NOT record video. Cameras not in compliance with these requirements will be classified as electronic communication devices. TSC recommends the use of inexpensive “single-use” cameras. Expensive camera equipment should not be brought to camp.

  13. Any additional transportation including emergency canoe trip evacuations provided by the Camp for any reason shall be paid for by the parents.

  14. Email & Social Media Marketing – By electronically submitting this application you are agreeing to receive email and/or social media communications from the Taylor Statten Camp Company Limited containing application information, camp news and updates, alumni information, and promotions regarding the Taylor Statten Camp Company Limited products and services. You can withdraw your consent at any time. Please refer to our Privacy Policy or contact us for more details.

  15. Special Canoe Trips – Sharing of Parental Email Addresses – To further enhance cabin cohesion for our Special Canoe Trips, the Taylor Statten Camps often receives requests from the parents of campers to share email contact details of the other parents in the confirmed camper grouping. Once your camper’s Special Canoe Trip placement is confirmed in writing you consent to the Taylor Statten Camps sharing the parents’ email addresses used for the purposes of camper enrollment with the other camper parents on the confirmed Special Canoe Trip either before, during, or after completion of the Special Canoe Trip. If you wish to opt out now or at any time please advise the Business Office by email (info@taylorstattencamps.com).

• WE HAVE A NO CELL PHONE POLICY AT CAMP

  Counsel your child that if they feel they need to contact home, they should speak with their counselor. Parents will be contacted by TSC staff if any problems arise or if their child is experiencing a significant challenge in adjusting to camp life.

  The purpose of this policy is to help us all get the most out of Summer Camp while minimizing distractions, unkind acts, accidents, and frustrations caused by unpermitted, improper, and inappropriate use of electronic devices. This opportunity could be one of the only times in your child’s year when they are disconnected from technology. Leaving phones and other electronic devices at home allows campers to focus on being a kid, relationship-building and being 100% present at Camp. Cell phones and other electronic devices brought to Camp will be confiscated (this includes tablets, gaming devices, smart watches, WIFI dongles, and computers). Your camper will be responsible for obtaining the confiscated item at departure although TSC cannot guarantee for operational reasons that confiscated devices will be returned at the time of the camper’s departure and cannot accept any liability for lost, damaged or stolen devices. Items not collected will be donated to charity. Campers who genuinely require cell phones for unaccompanied travel to/from Camp will have their cell phones returned to them at the same time as their passports and travel documents.

  Cell Phones are a liability to camper safety, which can lead to bullying and unsafe environments. By removing a camper’s access to technology, we avoid possible exposure to the following:

  • Bullying via social media

  • Inappropriate materials

  • Homesickness due to lack of immersion into the camp environment

  This policy applies to all TSC Campers, including long trippers. Cell phones and other types of electronic devices must not be used, heard, or handled during the camper’s entire stay at Camp. Campers should NOT travel to camp with electronic devices (unless required for unaccompanied travel to/from camp). Campers who ignore this policy will be given an amnesty upon arrival at Camp and asked to voluntarily surrender any electronic communication devices.

  Failure to participate in the amnesty and/or follow these rules will result in your camper being asked to leave camp and sent home. No refunds will be provided.

• Cameras

  TSC appreciates that campers may wish to take photographs at Camp. The use of cameras and/or video devices (such as a GoPro) at TSC is permitted as long as the camera is NOT part of banned electronic device (such as a cell phone or tablet). Cameras not in compliance with these requirements will be classified as electronic communication devices. TSC recommends the use of inexpensive “single-use” cameras. Expensive camera equipment should not be brought to camp. The use of cameras to take photos or videos inside camper or staff sleeping quarters is NOT permitted, as set out in TSC’s Camper Code of Conduct.

• Waiver and Release of Liability

  I acknowledge that attendance and/or participation at overnight camp involves risk and hazards incidental thereto, including allergic reactions and Covid-19, all of which are assumed by the parent. I further recognize that there is an element of risk in taking part in outdoor activities. I’m also aware of the risks and dangers inherent in swimming, water sports, land sports, horseback riding, high ropes, archery, canoe tripping, hiking/portaging, living in a natural and rustic surrounding, and ground and air transportation.
