Any incident involving ​drugs or alcohol​ will result in the immediate dismissal of the member​. Dismissal of the member is at the expense of that member; there are no second chances. RANDOM BAG SEARCHES MAY BE CONDUCTED, DEPENDING ON THE EVENT.

Be respectful of your peers and fellow members. The event coordinators have set curfews, event & mealtimes, and basic rules of conduct. You are expected to adhere by these rules. Failure to adhere to these rules of conduct will result in a phone call to a parent/guardian, or dismissal if the behavior is consistent.

Appropriate attire is expected and mandatory at every event. If at any time the attire is deemed inappropriate, it must be changed immediately.

Any foods containing nuts/made in a facility with nut products are prohibited on camp grounds and will be confiscated upon arrival.

As a reminder, everyone at the event is a guest representing the AYF-YOARF Eastern Region. Should a member be caught in an act of vandalism, they will be subjected to disciplinary action by the AYF-YOARF Eastern Region and be held fully financially responsible for all damages.

Under no circumstances should anyone leave campgrounds after arriving to Junior Seminar. Failure to adhere to this rule will result in dismissal of the member.

Any behavior that is deemed bullying will be punished accordingly, and may result in a phone call to a parent/guardian, or dismissal if the behavior is consistent.

Any member caught with the following prohibited items will be punished accordingly; any weapons or electronics (i.e. phone, laptop, iPad, AirPods, iPod). Cell phones will not be permitted for Juniors. Cell phones will be collected as Juniors arrive at the event. Juniors will be able to contact their parents in an emergency by using Seniors’ phones.

Any member who is removed from the facilities will not receive a refund. All campers are required to follow the rules set forth and failing to do so may result in a loss of privilege to participate fully in camp activities.

In the event that you are unable to notify me or the undersigned parent/guardian, I hereby appoint and authorize the AYF-YOARF Central Executive, its councils or appointee so designated to secure whatever medical or surgical care deemed necessary or reasonable. In the event that the registrant is transported to a local hospital, I hereby authorize a physician to administer treatment and perform other procedures that in their judgment may be necessary.

In consideration of being allowed to participate in any way in the Armenian Youth Federation (“AYF”) program, related events and activities, the undersigned acknowledges, appreciates, and agrees that:

The risk of injury from the activities or events involved in this program is significant, including the potential for permanent paralysis and death, and while particular rules, equipment, and personal discipline may reduce this risk, the risk of serious injury does exist; and,

The risks associated with exposure to and infection by COVID-19 or any other communicable disease is significant, and participation in the activities or events will increase the risk that I may be exposed to, contract, or spread COVID-19 or some other communicable disease. I acknowledge that COVID-19 is extremely contagious and can cause serious and potentially life-threatening illness and even death; and,

I acknowledge and knowingly and freely assume all such risks of injury, infection, or loss associated with the activities or events, both known and unknown, even if arising from the negligence, recklessness, or intentional conduct of the releasees or others, and assume full responsibility for my participation; and,

I willingly agree to comply with the stated and customary terms and conditions for participation. If, however, I observe any unusual significant hazard during my presence or participation, I will remove myself from participation and bring such to the attention of the nearest official immediately; and,

I, for myself and on behalf of my heirs, assigns, personal representatives and next of kin, hereby release and hold harmless the Armenian Youth Federation (“AYF”), their officers, officials, agents and/or employees, other participants, sponsoring agencies, sponsors, advertisers, and if applicable, owners and lessors of premises used to conduct the event (“Releasees”), with respect to all and any injury, disability, death, or loss or damage to person or property, whether arising from the negligence of the Releasees or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

I expressly agree that this waiver is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by applicable laws, and that if any portion of this waiver is found to be void, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.

I HAVE READ THIS RELEASE OF LIABILITY AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK AGREEMENT, fully understand its terms, understand that I have given up substantial rights by signing it, and sign it freely and voluntarily without any inducement.

For Parents/Guardians of participants of minority age (under 18 at time of registration) – if applicable

This is to certify that I, as parent/guardian with legal responsibility for this participant, do consent and agree to his/her release, as provided above, of all the Releasees, and, for myself, heirs, assigns, and next of kin, I release and agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Releasees from any and all liabilities incident to my minor child’s involvement or participation in these programs as provided above, even if arising from their negligence, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
