PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT & RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK


RECOVERY OUTSIDE PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT

At Recovery Outside, we are committed to creating a supportive, inclusive, and empowering environment grounded in our five core values. By participating in our events, you agree to uphold the following principles that reflect our shared commitments:

1. Recovery: We center our recovery and mental health.
All Recovery Outside events are alcohol- and substance-free. Participants must be sober during all activities.
Please be mindful of your language when discussing alcohol, substances, or mental health, recognizing the diverse experiences of others in recovery.
Clothing that promotes alcohol or drug use, or contains language or imagery that is offensive, inappropriate, or stigmatizing, is not permitted.
Smoking and vaping must be done respectfully and away from group spaces or communal areas.
Our purpose for joining is to find support in recovery/sobriety, disruptive conversations or behaviors that detract from that purpose may be asked to discontinue.

2. Community: We believe in the strength and healing that comes from shared experiences and mutual support.
We show up for each other. Listen actively, offer support when appropriate, and participate in group activities with openness and compassion.
We acknowledge that everyone is on their own journey—there is no single "right way" to recover or heal.
We build community by showing patience, being inclusive, and avoiding judgment of others’ experiences or perspectives.

3. Safety: We are dedicated to promoting physical and emotional safety.
Follow all safety guidelines and instructions provided by Recovery Outside leaders or facilitators during activities.
Communicate any physical or emotional needs that may affect your ability to participate in an activity safely.
Do not engage in behavior that could endanger yourself or others, including risky physical actions or aggressive language.
Practice consent in all interactions. Always ask before initiating physical contact or sensitive conversations.

4. Respect: We treat every individual with dignity, empathy, and understanding, honoring their unique journey.
Speak and act with kindness. Avoid sarcasm, put-downs, or language that may be dismissive, discriminatory, or exclusionary.
Respect the privacy of others. Do not share other people's personal stories, names, or photos from events without permission.
Recognize that everyone brings different identities, backgrounds, and needs. Approach others with humility and curiosity, not assumptions.
Show respect for the leadership and guidance of the volunteers and staff; they are donating  their time to provide a service and to protect all participants and the organization.

5. Adventure: We embrace the challenge of outdoor activities as a catalyst for growth, self-discovery, and joy.
Be open to stepping outside your comfort zone while respecting your own and others’ boundaries.
Celebrate each other’s courage, progress, and participation—regardless of skill level or experience.
Approach each activity with a spirit of fun, exploration, and mutual encouragement.
Be adaptable and prepared for nature’s unpredictability, and support one another in navigating outdoor challenges.

AGREEMENT

By attending a Recovery Outside event, you agree to uphold these values and help foster a community of trust, safety, and healing. If your behavior is not in alignment with these expectations, you may be asked to step away from the event or take a break from participation. These guidelines are in place to ensure a respectful and supportive environment for everyone.
