As a parent/guardian, I have reviewed the information about the St. John High School Winter Retreat located at Lutherdale Bible Camp (N7891 US-12, Elkhorn, WI 53121) and give permission for my child to be involved in the overall activities on November 12-14, 2021. My child and I agree on the following expectations: participants are expected to follow Lutherdale Bible Camp and St. John rules. We agree that our participant will not leave early or come to retreat late unless arrangements are made in writing by email to Pastor Evan prior to the retreat. We agree participant will take transportation arranged by St. John, and no participant will be allowed to drive themselves to or from retreat.  We agree participant will conduct themselves as part of St. John Lutheran Church, and any rude language, abusive treatment, or illegal drugs seen on participants by volunteer or St. John staff will result in participants being sent home early, at the inconvenience and cost of the parents of the participant.  

The participant agrees to dress appropriately, bring all outdoor gear requested, and wea deodorant.  We will make every effort to ensure participant's safety, and participant agrees to follow all safety rules.  As parents, we authorize any treatment by an accredited urgent care, hospital and/or physician deemed necessary for the subject of the release in case of an emergency; St. John staff and volunteers will make every effort to contact parents if medical treatment is needed.  We understand the possibility of unforeseen hazards and know the inherent possibility of risk to participant.  We agree not to hold St. John Lutheran Church of Joliet, IL, its leaders, employees, and volunteer staff liable for damages, losses, diseases, or injuries incurred by the participant on the retreat.
