Our Backpacking Trips

All my life I hated to sign any kind of release form, contracts, etc.. those small fine prints are boring to read. Not today! Following are the first 5 lines of HCSC Release of Liabitlity:

I am aware that all camp activities, including but not limited to snowboarding, skateboarding, in-line skating, wakeboarding, wakesurfing, mountain biking, bicycling, swimming, snow skating, basketball, tetherball, camp fires, horse shoes, arts and crafts, hiking, white water rafting, paintball, trampolines, surfing, BMX biking, soccer, dodge ball, volleyball, baseball, dry slope snowboarding and rail training, balance boards and apparatus, bowling and golf, are hazardous sports that include certain risks and dangers and include the risk of serious injury or death. I voluntarily accept full responsiblity for all risks invloved, including risks inherent in all camp activities and in the HALF-PIPES, QUARTER-PIPES, FREESTYLE BUMPS/JUMPS AND OTHER CONSTRUCTED AND NATURAL FEATURES.

God, I don’t even know what the hell is some of those activities… then next 3 lines:
