These rules are subject to change at any time by the 4-H Center management. The Vanderburgh 4-H Center reserves the right to remove personal property if these policies are violated.  I also acknowledge that certain risks are involved in renting a camping space.  Therefore, as a prerequisite for the Vanderburgh 4-H Center to allow me to rent a camping space, I herby release the Vanderburgh 4-HCenter, its officers, employees, and all other individuals associated with the Vanderburgh 4-H Center from all claims of liability resulting from any nature other than the sole negligence of the Vanderburgh 4-H Center resulting from renting a camping space.
