I am the Parent or Legal Guardian of Any and All Children I am Registering. I understand that only a Child’s parent or legal guardian may register a Child for a BAM! program. By registering a Child, I am certifying that I am their parent or legal guardian and I have fully legal authority to register them and to sign this waiver.

Authorization To Participate. I hereby authorize my Child to attend BAM! enrichment programs. This Release and Waiver of Liability (hereinafter, "Release") is executed as of the date of my online registration. I consent to BAM! to have my Child participate and engage in activities related to BAM! enrichment programs and camps (hereinafter, "Programs").

Parties Providing Programs. I understand that the enrichment programs and or camp programs I have registered for are being organized by Brains and Motion Education, Inc., a Delaware corporation. I understand that all programs and communications will be provided by Brains and Motion Education, Inc.; its corporate parent; corporate subsidiaries that may vary from state to state (as required by state law); and/or certain online vendors contracted to provide specialty educational experiences as part of some of our Programs (hereinafter, “BAM!” or “Company”).

Assumption of Risk.
I understand and acknowledge that participation in Programs conducted by BAM!, including the use of its facilities and equipment, involves an inherent and unavoidable risk of injuries, harm, and loss.

I understand there are numerous risks associated with participating in BAM!’s Programs, including, but not limited to, the use of playgrounds, inflatable equipment, game room equipment, and electronic devices, as well as participation in sports and active games, and crafting and enrichment projects. I also understand the risk of exposure to COVID-19. I acknowledge and assume the risks and dangers described above with my Child being enrolled and engaging in Programs. I have discussed the Program and the inherent risks with my Child, who understands them and wishes to participate in the Programs. I hereby expressly and specifically assume such risks, including any and all risk of injury, harm, or loss that my Child may incur as a result of participating in the Programs.
Release of Liability.

To the extent that I register any Child for any BAM program without being their parent or legal guardian, I assume full and exclusive responsibility for all legal risks, costs, and damages that may occur due to my improperly registering any such Child.
Special Indemnification.

Code of Conduct

Brains and Motion is committed to providing campers with opportunities to learn and grow with hands-on, group structured activities. We strive to promote self-confidence, decision-making and social skills for each camper. Our philosophy focuses on the need and growth of both the individual camper and the overall group. To maintain a positive and safe environment, our campers are expected to follow this code of conduct.

Be respectful by:

Treating others as I would like to be treated with respect and courtesy.
Not taking part or leading any bullying, harassment, threats, name calling, unwanted teasing or exclusion of others.
Respecting other campers’ belongings and camp equipment/supplies.

Be responsible by:

Wearing appropriate clothing/shoes to camp each day to include no clothes that expose midriff, shorts that reach fingertips, no graphic or profane images or language on shirts or other clothes, shoes that cover the feet.
Informing camp staff of challenges faced with other campers, camp activities, or any other situations where staff assistance or help may be needed.
Accepting personal responsibility for my actions.

Be positive by:

Communicating appropriately, which excludes use of foul language, gestures, harsh words, or slurs.
Supporting camp activities, campers, and staff by my actions, tone of voice, and language or asking for space/time away when I need it.

Be safe by:

Following and encouraging others to follow, all rules and regulations provided by staff and/or facility guidelines.
Refraining from deliberately causing bodily harm. I understand that pushing, hitting, kicking, and fighting are not acceptable behaviors that will not be tolerated and could result in me being removed from the program.

As a member of the BAM program, I understand that this experience is for ALL campers, and if my behavior is deemed to be outside the code of conduct and/or unmanageable, any of the following may result:

Verbal conversation and coaching from camp staff
Not being allowed to participate in camp activities
Parent/Guardian notification
Parent/Guardian conference
Suspension or dismissal from camp

It is the expectation that the parent/guardian will review with their student(s) and each student will understand and adhere to the guidelines of the BAM Code of Conduct.
