Waiver and release

Participation in the activity may involve risk or injury. As a parent, guardian, or participant, I am aware of these hazards and my ability to participate. I hereby agree to release, discharge, and hold harmless the Town of Newington, its employees, contracted instructors, and volunteers from the liabilities that may occur while participating in the activity.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I also understand that I must adhere to all CDC, state, and local COVID-19 guidelines, including all social distancing, temperature checks, personal protective equipment requirements, and sanitation protocols. I acknowledge that there is a risk of transmission when in a group or class setting, even with personal protective equipment.

I understand that participation in any recreational or sports activity involves risk. I further understand that the Town of Newington does not provide accident/medical insurance for the program participants. In addition, I permit the participant to be treated by qualified medical personnel if the above-named parent, guardian, or emergency contact cannot be reached at the phone numbers provided.

The Parks and Recreation Department reserves the right to photograph program participants for publicity purposes. Please be aware that these photos are for Parks and Recreation use only and may be used in future catalogs, websites, social media, brochures, pamphlets, and/or flyers.

No refunds will be given after a participant has registered and paid for a program, except for medical reasons (illness or injury) which prohibit active participation in the program. Refund requests must be accompanied by a note from the participant’s physician. The amount refunded will be pro-rated to reflect the number of classes remaining at the time of request. A $20 processing fee is also required at the time of the refund.
