Liability Waiver

I hereby give permission for my student's participation in any and all activities associated with the summer education program I am registering my student for: Nature Study, Natural History Day, or Wildlife Ecology Research Day Program (hereafter Summer Ed Programs). I acknowledge that there are known-inherent and unforeseeable risks in these activities. The known-inherent risks of activities my student will participate in are: dangers associated with interaction with nature, natural forces, swimming and other strenuous outdoor activities, and the possible loss of personal property and injury due to personal actions. I do hereby waive, release, and absolve the Edmund Niles Huyck Preserve, Inc., its past, present, and future directors, officers, employees, and agents (whether acting as agents for the Huyck Preserve or in their individual capacities) from any and all claims arising out of injury or other harm to my student during their participation in Summer Ed Programs at the Huyck Preserve and further agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Edmund Niles Huyck Preserve, Inc., its past, present, and future directors, officers, employees, and agents from any claims, actions, expenses, or other damages arising out of that participation as well as arising out of any actions of my student.

COVID-19 Protocol Agreement

The Huyck Preserve will require parents/guardians to complete a daily online health screening for their child from home before coming to Nature Study each day that class is held. Students exhibiting symptoms, testing positive for COVID-19, or exposed to COVID-19 may not attend class. Refunds for missed classes will not be issued.
When in class, students will be expected to wear a cloth or disposable face mask properly covering both nose and mouth at all times except when at their assigned spot during snack time or as part of another mask break assigned by Huyck Preserve staff.
Students will be required to follow physical distancing procedures.
Nature Study will be held under a tent outside the Eldridge Research Center, and access to the building will not be permitted. A porta potty and handwashing station will be available adjacent to the tent.
Please limit drop-off/pick-up to one caregiver to minimize the number of people on-site. Caregivers are expected to wear face masks covering nose and mouth at drop-off/pick-up.

I acknowledge and agree that my child and associated caregivers will comply with the stated procedures for the education program at the Edmund Niles Huyck Preserve in 2021. I understand that full compliance of procedures is required for my child to participate in the 2021 education program, and failure to comply with the procedures will result in expulsion from the program with no refund of payment. I also understand that these protocols may be adjusted, for example, in response to changed New York State or CDC regulations and guidelines, and I will be notified by the Huyck Preserve if such changes occur.
