Rules of Participation

Revised April 2007

Everyone who participates in a Lambda Hiking Club activity is asked to read, agree to, and sign the following:

1.     TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF

·         I will wear clothing and footwear appropriate to the activity.

·         I will bring sunscreen, water, hat, and food on outdoor activities.

·         I will bring any medications I might need for chronic health problems, and, if appropriate, inform the activity leader of the group of my situation.  Privacy will be assured.

·         I will not participate in activities while drunk or under the influence of illegal drugs.

·         I understand that I am taking my own risks while participating with the group, and that I do not hold the club, the activity leader, or any other participants responsible for any or harm I might suffer.

2.     TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER

·         I will work with the activity leader to ensure the safety of all participants, and refrain from any activity that might put myself or any other person at risk of harm.

·         I will do my part to make all participants feel welcome.  I will respect the diversity of the members of this group concerning sexual orientation, lifestyle, physical abilities, and political and religious views.

·         I will respect and support those in the community who are HIV positive.  I will keep in mind that some participants may not wish to discuss their health issues in public with others.  I will be sensitive to and respectful of these people’s desire for privacy.

·         I will keep with the group.  If I need to leave the activity early, I will notify the activity leader.

·         I will leave a phone number of a friend or relative to contact in the event of an emergency.  This phone number will be kept confidential

3.     TAKE CARE OF OUR ENVIRONMENT

·         I will not harm the plants and wildlife we encounter on our activities.

·         I will not litter.

·         I will not bring pets on activities unless the location allows pets and the activity leader approves.

·         I will refrain from nude hiking while involved in a LHC activity.

·         I will carpool to club activities when practical.
