3 Winter Retreat RBC Facedown Youth As an option for one of the activities on our Facedown Youth Winter Retreat, we will be going snowboarding/skiing at Mammoth Mountain Ski and Snowboard Resort. Again this activity is not required; there will be optional activities for those not going snowboarding/skiing that day. Our plan is to go on Sunday for a full day session starting at 8:00am and ending at 4:00pm. Following are all the details for the snowboarding/skiing activity. Details: We will go for Full Day on Sunday starting at 8:00am going till 4:00pm. We will stay as a group on the hill. All costs for snowboarding/skiing are the sole responsibility of each individual participating including Lift Tickets and any Rental Equipment needed. Reverence Bible Church (RBC) Facedown Youth Ministry will not be financially responsible for any costs involved in this activity. If parents would like to have the RBC Facedown Youth Ministry (RBCFYM) Leadership hold the money for their child (ren) that will need to be set up between the parents and the Leadership team and is an option. Each individual participant going skiing or snowboarding will be responsible for all equipment needed whether they are bringing their own equipment, borrowing or planning to rent. There will be an option to rent equipment at the resort, and this is recommended for all first time skiers and snowboarders. The Resort always has top quality equipment and they streamline the process for quick expedition. A leader will be taking a group of people needing to rent to the respective rental location at the Resort and overseeing the process. Again (RBCFYM) will not be responsible for any costs of rental equipment. You may bring your own equipment. (RBCFYM) will not be responsible for any lost or stolen personal items. Kids/Students/Individuals may not participate in snowboarding or skiing while on this Retreat without a Special Activities Waiver/Release of Liability and Permit to Treat signed by a legal parent or guardian. All that said, here are the current costs as we know them from their online advertising. It is possible that there may be discounts available to our group size as well as additional costs that they may not have disclosed. The prices are approximates.

5 Reverence Bible Church General Release of Liability As a Christian group, we seek to follow the biblical mandate, which disallows bringing charges against Christian brothers in civil courts. We also seek to be good stewards of the resources and blessings that the Lord has provided. Our group has never had an instance of injury of damages being charged to the group. Yet we believe it is best to be sure all members understand our position prior to any mishaps. We are an organized non-profit church group. The leadership is made up of those who have volunteered their time to organize activities for the group. Participation in any event is strictly voluntary, with no member ever being required to attend any meeting or event. Neither our group, nor its leaders, nor its members are liable for any injuries or damages, whether connected with Reverence Bible Church event or not. At every event, parents are responsible for their own children. Children are never allowed to attend any function without a parent. Occasionally a member will desire to send his child (ren) to an activity with another adult member. This practice is discouraged, yet because we understand that occasionally the parent must remain home because of illness in the family, pregnancy, etc., and because of the family-like nature of our group, we do not desire to prohibit it under all circumstances, In any case, no child is allowed to attend any event without being accompanied by and supervised by his own parent or, in special cases, accompanied by and supervised by an adult member designated by that child s parent to take complete responsibility for him. We suggest that if you find it necessary to send your child to an event with another adult, it be one who is comfortable enough with your child to correct him if necessary. Any special guests (grandparents, relatives, out-of-town friends, etc.) who accompany members to any event are under the sole responsibility of that member for behavior, damages, injuries, etc. It is expected that any member or his child or guest who damages property or who causes injury, either willfully or through neglect, will take personal responsibility for his actions. However, our group will not be involved in any way in such situations. Any person, whether member or not, who has such a claim will be directed to discuss the offense individually with the part he believes to be responsible. The outcome of such a problem is out of the realm of this group s responsibility. If such disputes cannot be handled by the parties individually, we will expect that they will follow the guidelines of Matthew 18: thorough their own churches and church leadership. In the remote event of a catastrophe injuring members while at a group event, we require a MEDICAL RELEASE FORM for each child to be signed and on file. (one copy with the secretary and one in the field trip/event packet which we will attempt to have on hand at every event.) No child may participate in any activity without such a form being filled out and signed by the child s parent/guardian first. I have read the above and agree to hold Reverence Bible Church harmless in the event of any damages or injuries to me, to my children, or to my property.
