AGREEMENT:
In consideration for the limited and revocable right to access and otherwise utilize the land
commonly known as “Millican Reserve” in Brazos County, Texas, and any facilities thereon, I hereby
freely agree to and make the contractual representations and agreements contained in this
document (the “Agreement”). I acknowledge the inherent dangers of participating in outdoor
activities including, but not limited to, activities such as bicycling, hiking, running, horseback riding,
camping, canoeing, kayaking, nature walks, swimming and participating in any water sport activity.
I voluntarily fully assume the risks associated with my presence at Millican Reserve, including (by
way of example and not limitation) the following risks: possible collisions with pedestrians, livestock,
wildlife, vehicles, bicycles, or other fixed or moving objects; potential surface hazards, equipment
failure, inadequate safety equipment, fire, and hazardous weather conditions; contact with biting
insects, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and mammals; the dangers of participating in any water or play
activity including drowning; and the possibility of serious physical and/or mental trauma including
death arising from any of the inherent dangers present at Millican Reserve.
I fully understand that accidents are not uncommon when participating in outdoor activities. I
acknowledge it is impossible for the non-profit corporation known as Millican Reserve, its
management, or the owners of the land on which it operates (together, “Millican”), its “Program
Partners” (Millican-approved organizations operating at Millican Reserve for the purpose of
education and recreation), or any other parties affiliated with Millican Reserve to anticipate and
prevent all conceivably hazardous situations that can occur while participating in outdoor activities.
I understand permanent disabling injuries and even death can occur when participating in such
activities.
I acknowledge that due to the inherent danger related to the outdoor activities to be undertaken at
Millican Reserve, Millican cannot and will not guarantee the safety of any person on the property or
loss of any personal property. Furthermore, I understand that Millican does not guarantee the safety
or quality of the facilities, the safety or quality of the program, or any of the equipment located on
the property.
I agree that it is my sole responsibility to be familiar with the conditions of the land and facilities at
Millican Reserve, and I accept them in their as-is where-is condition. I understand and agree that
situations may arise during participation in activities at Millican Reserve that may be beyond the
immediate control of Millican, and I will not partake in any activities which endanger myself or
others. I accept responsibility for the condition and adequacy of my bicycle, horse equipment,
camping equipment, or any other equipment I may use at Millican Reserve. When participating in
any outdoor activity including, but not limited to, riding a bicycle, riding a horse, canoeing, or
kayaking at Millican Reserve, I will wear the proper safety equipment including, but not limited to, a
properly rated helmet or life jacket, and I assume all responsibility and liability for the selection and
fit of this safety equipment. I confirm that I have no physical or mental condition which would
endanger myself or others if I participate in any event at Millican Reserve, or which would interfere
with my ability to participate in any activities at Millican Reserve.
I agree I will only enter Millican Reserve with the limited and revocable written permission of
Millican or under the supervision of a Program Partner, and I will abide by any rules promulgated by
Millican. My access to Millican Reserve is limited to the times and areas specifically permitted by
separate agreement with Millican or Program Partners.
