Gender Inclusiveness: Camp RYLA Operates within the framework of The Rotary Four-Way Test of the things we Think, Say or Do: “1) Is it the TRUTH? 2) is it FAIR to all concerned? 3) Will it build GOODWILL and better FRIENDSHIPS? and 4) Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?” These principles are the foundation of Rotary International’s policies on gender inclusiveness. Rotary’s policy aligns with that of the YMCA Camp St. Croix to provide students the opportunity to express their gender in terms of their understanding of who they are and how they interact with other people. However, we are unable to accommodate mixed gender cabins or bathroom facilities. Students are assigned cabins based upon their physical gender characteristics.

TRANSPORTATION/MEDICAL

1. In the event that my child needs immediate medical attention for injuries received while participating in Camp RYLA, I authorize either YMCA staff and/or RYLA Camp staff to give my child reasonable first aid, and to arrange transport of my child to a health care facility for emergency services as needed.
2. I give permission for my child to be transported by the YMCA as needed for field trips, inclement weather, or late pick up. I also give my permission for my child to participate in walking filed trips.
3. I hereby acknowledge that the YMCA and Camp RYLA staff will assume that either parent of the child may pick up the child at any time during the program unless there is pertinent court documentation on file at the YMCA that indicates otherwise.
4. I agree to the release of any records necessary for treatment, referral, billing for insurance purposes. The YMCA and Camp RYLA staff receive medical information on campers/participants that may need to be shared with medical providers.
5. If my child requires use and administration of an epi-pen, prescription or over the counter medication, it is my responsibility to ensure that the epi-pen and/or medications are on my child or within their personal belongings every day of the program. If YMCA staff or RYLA Staff are required to administer the use of the epi-pen and/or medication, I agree to forever release and discharge the designees from any and all liability arising out of or resulting from use or administration of the epi-pen and/or medication.
