WAIVER OF RELEASE FOR INFECTIOUS DISEASES INCLUDING COVID-19*

The Church (CLH) will work hard to implement state and local guidelines.  CLH cannot guarantee an environment that is entirely risk free of illness and infectious diseases, including COVID-19.

By allowing your child’s attendance at CLH, you acknowledge and understand that their attendance will require him/her to physically interact with CLH staff, other students, and volunteers. Despite reasonable mitigation efforts on behalf of CLH, any physical interaction with others may pose some unavoidable risks to you, your child, and your family due to the COVID-19 pandemic. You further acknowledge and agree to the following:

1. Waiver and Release. You hereby release, discharge, and hold harmless CLH and its agents from any and all liability, claims and demands of whatever kind or nature, either in law or in equity, which arise or may hereafter arise from your child’s attendance on campus and/or participation in activities associated with CLH. You understand that this release discharges CLH from any liability or claim that you may have against CLH with respect to COVID-19 or other illness or infectious disease.

2. Assumption of Risk. You further understand that your child’s attendance and/or participation may expose him/her and others to unavoidable COVID-19 community spread. As such, you hereby expressly and specifically assume the risk of injury or other harm, and expressly release CLH from all liability for injury, illness, or other issue resulting from or in any way related to your child’s attendance or participation.
