Release of Calvin University liability

Adventure grants are not official Calvin University trips, but “sponsorship grants” to encourage community building, leadership development and expedition organizational skills, as well as to offset the cost of travel. Student-led spring break trips are not officially organized, promoted or sponsored by Calvin University, HPERDS, Student Development or the Adventure Club Program. As with any self-planned trip, students and student groups drive, travel and adventure at their own risk. All trip participants are entirely and completely responsible for their own safety and the safety of their fellow adventurers.
