I, for myself and on behalf of the Child, hereby release and hold harmless the Maryland Port Administration (the “MPA”), the Maryland Department of Transportation, the Maryland Environmental Service, the State of Maryland, and their respective employees, officials, and agents (collectively the “Releasees”) from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, losses, and liabilities of any nature for personal injury or property damage of any nature whatsoever, which I or the Child may now or hereafter assert, including, but not limited to, claims for injury, death, illness, delay, or cancellation, whether caused by negligence of the Releasees or otherwise, arising in any way from the Child’s participation in the events. This release is binding upon my heirs, successors and assigns, and those of the Child.
I grant this release voluntarily in recognition of risks presented by the facts that the location to be visited, Hart Miller Island, has an extensive shoreline and will place the Child in close proximity to water, uneven ground, ditches, depressions in the ground, vegetation, tripping hazards and wildlife, and (b) transportation by bus/van and vessel involves the potential hazards of collisions or other accidents. These risks may be reduced, and the visits to the above locations made a fun and safer experience, by compliance with all safety instructions provided by the trip organizers and bus/van and vessel operators.
I hereby grant the MPA and its partners the right to photograph and/or video record me and my minor child(ren) and publish or place on the Internet photographic or video images of me and my minor child(ren), without the name of the participant, in subsequent accounts or reports associated with this event.
