Section 2 - Acknowledgment Regarding Assumption of Risk and Taking Personal Responsibility

Acknowledgment of Risks

This is a document whereby you acknowledge the risks involved in staffing a New Warrior Training Adventure weekend ("NWTA") and confirm your commitment to take personal responsibility for your own safety. The NWTA generally takes place in a youth camp environment, with facilities that are often basic and in remote settings. Some of the activities are very physical and may take place outside on difficult terrain where you will be exposed to the elements. This is no spa weekend. You will have the opportunity to look deeply into your life to see what’s working, what isn’t working and what is driving the unhealthy patterns of how you show up in your relationships and in your life. The work you will do on the NWTA is physically, emotionally and psychologically challenging. It isn’t for everyone. None of the activities or processes on the NWTA are compulsory. Any man may choose to not participate in any process or activity. It is your responsibility to determine for yourself whether you are ready for the NWTA. We do, however, challenge you to move out of your comfort zone and dare to discover your potential. We are an inclusive, welcoming community. We have had men from many different walks of life and at very different stages in their lives participate in the NWTA. Men on the NWTA range in age from 19 years to well into their elder years. Professional athletes and men who have quadriplegia can be found on these weekends. We insist that you be willing to look after yourself, know your limitations and have the courage to decline from participating in any activity or process which exposes you to risk beyond what you are willing to accept.

Describe any physical issues you have that could create problems for you or others

List every food and medicine you are allergic to, and any other allergies you have

Describe any mental health issues you have that may create problems for you or others

List the names of all the medications/drugs you take regularly

No alcohol or illegal drugs are allowed. Describe any addictions you have that could create problems for you or others

Have you attempted suicide in the past 2 years?

Yes

Have you been hospitalized for a psychiatric illness in the past 2 years?

Yes

Emergency Contact Name

Emergency Contact Phone

If you have any concern about your ability to participate in the weekend, we recommend that you obtain the opinion of one or more of any health care professionals involved in your care. We also ask that you describe your concerns in one of the spaces above, so we can be aware of your situation.

I acknowledge that there are risks associated with a New Warrior Training Adventure (NWTA).
