RELEASE, INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT

In consideration of participating in campground activities, and for the other good and valuable
consideration, I hereby agree to release and discharge from liability arising from negligence
Otter Springs Campground LLC and its owners, directors, officers, employees, agents,
volunteers, participants, and all other persons or entities acting for them (hereinafter
collectively referred to as “Releasee’s”) on behalf of myself and my children, parents, heirs,
assigns, personal representative and estate, and also agree as follows:
1. I acknowledge that participating in campground activities involves known and unanticipated
risks which could result in physical or emotional injury, paralysis or permanent disability,
death, and property damage. Risks include, but are not limited to, broken bones; torn
ligaments or other injuries as a result of falls; burns from campfires; drowning in pools or other
bodies of water; falls from play equipment or caused by uneven surfaces; medical conditions
resulting from physical activity; and damaged clothing or other property. I understand such
risks simply cannot be eliminated, despite the use of safety equipment, without jeopardizing
the essential qualities of the activity.
2. I expressly accept and assume all of the risks inherent in this activity or that might have
been caused by the negligence of the Releasee’s. My participation in this activity is purely
voluntary and I elect to participate despite the risks. In addition, if at any time I believe that
event conditions are unsafe or that I am unable to participate due to physical or medical
conditions, then I will immediately discontinue participation.
3. I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to indemnify and hold harmless
Releasee’s from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action which are in any way
connected with my participation in this activity, or my use of their equipment or facilities,
arising from negligence. This release does not apply to claims arising from intentional
conduct. Should Releasee’s or anyone acting on their behalf be required to incur attorney’s
fees and costs to enforce this agreement, I agree to indemnify and hold them harmless for all
such fees and costs.
4. I represent that I have adequate insurance to cover any injury or damage I may suffer or
cause while participating in this activity, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or
damage myself. I further represent that I have no medical or physical condition which could
interfere with my safety, or else I am willing to assume-and bear the costs of-all risks that may
be created, directly or indirectly, by any such condition.
5. In the event that I file a lawsuit, I agree to do so solely in the state where Releasee’s
facility is located, and I further agree that the substantive law of that state shall apply.
6. I agree that if any portion of this agreement is found to be void or unenforceable, the
remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.

By signing this document, I agree that if I am hurt or my property is damaged during my
participation in this activity, then I may be found by a court of law to have waived my right to
maintain a lawsuit against the parties being released on the basis of any claim for negligence.
I have had sufficient time to read this entire document and, should I choose to do so, consult with
legal counsel prior to signing. Also, I understand that this activity might not be made available to me
or that the cost to engage in this activity would be significantly greater if I were to choose not to sign
this release, and agree that the opportunity to participate at the stated cost in return for the execution
of this release is a reasonable bargain. I have read and understand this document and I agree to
be bound by its terms.
