54 Raleigh Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources City of Oaks Foundation urges children to get outside Keeping nature nearby for all to enjoy—this mission is at the heart of the City of Oaks Foundation’s goal for Raleigh. The connection to the CITY OF OAKS outdoors is fundamental to the health f o u n d a t i o n and well-being of everyone, but especially children.

American children today spend less than 10 minutes a day on unstructured outdoor play, according to the National Recreation and Park Association. The rapidly growing role of technology in our world and the increased urbanization of our communities are just some of the reasons that experts have given for the limited time children now spend outside in nature. The City of Oaks Foundation wants to help children grow into stronger and healthier adults who will be connected to their environment. Part of educating children about nature is simply giving them the opportunity to spend more time outside.

Give Play is the City of Oaks’ premier youth program. A partnership with Raleigh Parks, Recreation and Cultural Resources, Give Play allows us to provide financial assistance to help children participate in the City’s incredible summer camps and nature programs, getting them outdoors and active, making friends and building an appreciation of natural settings and physical activity that will last a lifetime.

Give Play also introduces many children to outdoor sports such as hiking, climbing, canoeing and mountain biking, and helps them build self-confidence and important social skills. Recently, programs like outdoor arts and crafts have been added as a means for more creative and contemplative activities. Through these camps, local youth have safe and healthy ways to spend their summers

Our Give Play initiative strives to remove cost as a barrier for children’s participation in the nature play programs Raleigh offers. Additionally, the Foundation’s land conservation programs help landowners who want to leave a legacy by setting aside their forests, farms, gardens and streams as conservation land and future public parks. By supporting the City of Oaks Foundation with your tax-deductible contribution, you will help reverse our nature deficit and help maintain a great outdoors for a great Raleigh!

COVID – 19 Risks / Release, Indemnity, and Agreement Not To Sue (revised 7/6/2020)

The City of Raleigh has been forced to confront the potential dangers associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. The City’s Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Resources (PRCR) Department remains committed to providing high quality programming. However, in order to comply with guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and other federal, state, and local public health agencies, the PRCR Department has implemented additional safety precautions to ensure that program participants and other PRCR Department staff will have a fun, exceptional experience. The contents of this document supplement applicable program policies (including Camp Policies and School-Based Program policies), the Program Registration Form, and the online registration for participants who registered through RecLink at parks.raleighnc.gov. Unless amended herein, all prior policies applicable to the program for which you have registered remain in effect. Please review the following information carefully to learn more about what the City is doing to maintain a healthy program environment and what participants (or their Parents/Guardians, if applicable) should do before participating in the PRCR program for which you have registered. COVID-19 Risks COVID-19 is a highly contagious and novel viral agent. Its transmission vectors are imperfectly understood, and it may be possible to transmit or become infected by COVID-19 despite strict adherence to guidelines prescribed by the CDC and other federal, state, and local health agencies. Participants in Raleigh Parks programs will be in a group setting where they may come into contact with other program participants (instructors, coaches, campers, camp counselors, camp program staff, and camp program administrators, etc.). Many program activities will be conducted in a public community center setting. As a result, while PRCR Department staff will make reasonable efforts to adhere to the above-stated guidelines, participants in PRCR programs may be exposed to increased risk of transmission or infection of COVID-19 through various actions or interventions, including but not limited to contact with or proximity to one or more of the following: • Other program participants, staff members, or administrators; • The personal belongings of program participants, staff members, or administrators; • Programming and activity materials including, but not limited to, markers, books, games, toys, recreational equipment, etc.; and; • City of Raleigh community center fixtures and furnishings, including door knobs, chairs, tables, plumbing apparatus, light switches, etc.

I understand that participating in the recreational program selected involves risk of injury or illness. These risks include, but are not limited to, inclement weather, accidents while traveling, food related illness, equipment problems or failures, contact with and actions of other participants, spectators, and volunteers, slips/ trips/falls, musculoskeletal injuries, exposure to and illness from infectious diseases, and any and all risks described in the preceding section. I choose for myself or for my child to participate in the selected programs despite the risks. By signing below, I acknowledge all risks of injury, illness, death, and property damage, and affirm that I have assumed all responsibility of injury, illness, or death in any way connected with participation in the program. I also agree for myself and for any child participant to follow all rules and procedures of the program and to follow the reasonable instructions of the counselors, staff members, and supervisors of the program.

By signing below, I acknowledge that I have read, understand, and agree to the City of Raleigh policies listed on this form. Signature is required to complete the registration process.
