Participation in activities conducted by Oak Hill Gardens is completely voluntary, and I elect to participate, or have the participant(s) participate, in spite of such risks.
I hereby release the Released Parties, including Oak Hill Gardens, from all liability to myself or the participant(s) for any and all liability, claims, damages, demands, or causes or action for personal injury, including physical, mental, and emotional, death, illness, economic loss, or any other damage arising from, or related to, the activities conducted by Oak Hill Gardens, whether such injury, illness, loss, or death occurs on or off the premises upon which the Oak Hill Gardens activities are conducted.
