+
- + Concealed and open carry. Lawfully possessed + firearms may be carried concealed or openly on venue property + by any Attendee who is legally entitled to possess the firearm + under federal and Idaho law. Idaho is a constitutional-carry + state, and no concealed weapons license is required to carry + concealed in Idaho. Attendees carrying concealed are not + required to present a license to Event staff, but must, upon + request, present a government-issued photo ID. Open carry is + permitted for lawfully authorized Attendees. The carrying of + a firearm does not authorize its use except as expressly + permitted in these Terms. + +
- + General venue rules (cold range). Except + inside the actively supervised gun range area and only when + authorized by a Range Officer (an "RO"), all firearms on + venue property must be kept in a cold condition: + action open, magazine removed, chamber empty, and (where + applicable) in a case, holster, or sling. This applies to + carried firearms, range firearms, and firearms in vehicles. + Holstering, un-holstering, draw-and-reholster drills, + chambering, dry-firing, and any other handling of a firearm + are prohibited outside the supervised gun range. Firearms, + ammunition, and magazines must be transported to and from the + range in a closed case, range bag, or holster. + +
- + Range access and inspection. Entry to the + gun range is by Event-issued credential only and is limited to + the published range hours. All firearms and ammunition + brought onto the range are subject to inspection by Event + Range Officers at any time. Range staff may deny entry to, + or require removal of, any firearm, ammunition, accessory, or + Attendee that the ROs, in their sole discretion, consider + unsafe, non-functional, illegal, or inconsistent with the + range program. + +
- + Mandatory safety briefing. Before any + Attendee is permitted on the firing line, the Attendee must + complete the on-site written or verbal safety briefing + administered by the Event's designated range-safety + provider or designated Range Officers. The + briefing covers, at minimum: the four rules of firearm + safety, cold-range/cease-fire procedures, RO commands, + muzzle discipline, trigger discipline, eye and ear + protection, and ammunition restrictions. Each Attendee must + sign a range acknowledgment before being admitted to the + firing line. + +
-
+ Range conduct (hot line). When on the firing
+ line, Attendees must:
+
-
+
- + Follow every command of the RO immediately and without + argument. RO commands are final on safety matters. + +
- + Keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction (downrange) + at all times. Muzzle awareness is mandatory. + +
- + Keep the trigger finger off the trigger and outside the + trigger guard until the firearm is on target and the + Attendee has decided to fire. + +
- + Use only the ammunition type and loading procedures + specified by the RO for the assigned firing station. + +
- + Wear appropriate eye and ear protection at all times + while on or near the firing line. Eye and ear protection + are provided or may be brought; no one may be forward + of the firing line without them. + +
- + Not handle firearms, load, unload, chamber, or + un-chamber a round, or move forward of the firing line + during a cease fire. On the RO's call of + "cease fire," every Attendee must immediately stop + firing, remove their finger from the trigger, unload + the firearm (magazine out, action open, chamber + empty), and step back from the firing line. + +
- + Not consume alcohol, marijuana, or any intoxicating or + impairing substance before or during range activity. + No person under the influence will be admitted to or + permitted to remain on the firing line. Intoxicated + Attendees will be removed from the range and may be + removed from the Event without refund. + +

+ Age and supervision. To comply with
+ federal law (including 18 U.S.C. § 922(x), which
+ restricts juvenile possession of handguns and
+ ammunition), the gun range is open only as follows:
+
-
+
- + Attendees 18 and over may participate + fully in the range program, including firing any + firearm and handling ammunition, after completing + the safety briefing. + +
- + Attendees 13 through 17 may + participate only in activities that do not involve + possession of a handgun or handgun ammunition, as + those terms are used in 18 U.S.C. § 922(x). This + typically means long guns (rifles and shotguns) only, + or non-firing instruction at the discretion of the + RO, and only with the direct, in-person supervision + of a parent or legal guardian who has also completed + the safety briefing and who signs the range + acknowledgment on the minor's behalf. + +
- + Attendees under 13 are not + permitted on the firing line under any circumstance + and may only observe from behind the line under + parental supervision. + +
+ - + Prohibited items and conduct. The following + are not permitted on the range: multiple + targets-of-opportunity, drawing from a holster except as + expressly authorized by the RO, and any conduct the RO + deems unsafe, reckless, or inconsistent with the published + program. No personal targets, ammunition, or firearms may + be brought onto the range without RO approval. Photography + or video taken on the range is permitted only with the + prior consent of any person being photographed and must + not capture bystanders, other Attendees' firearms, or the + firing line without their consent. + +
- + Compliance with law. All firearm possession + and use on venue property must comply with Idaho Code + § 18-3302 (under which, by operation of § 18-3302(4)(f), any + person eighteen (18) years of age or older who is a U.S. + citizen or current member of the armed forces of + the United States and who is + not otherwise disqualified may carry a concealed deadly weapon + without a license), the enhanced-license provisions of Idaho + Code § 18-3302K (which are optional and provide additional + privileges such as reciprocity), and all other applicable + federal, state, and local laws. Firearms regulation in the + United States is a matter of federal, state, and local law. + Nothing in these Terms is intended to conflict with + applicable federal law, including but not limited to the + Gun Control Act of 1968 (18 U.S.C. § 921 et seq.), the + National Firearms Act (26 U.S.C. § 5801 et seq.), and + the regulations promulgated thereunder. To the extent + any provision of these Terms is inconsistent with federal + law, federal law controls. Attendees are solely + responsible for their compliance. + +
- + Violations. Violation of any provision of + this firearms policy may result in immediate removal from + the range, immediate removal from the Event without + refund, revocation of any range credential, and referral + to law enforcement. Range Officer determinations of unsafe + conduct are final on site. As with all conduct described + in this Code of Conduct, a single serious safety violation + is sufficient grounds for removal regardless of intent. + +
+ Lost, abandoned, and unattended property. Shiloh + is not responsible for lost, stolen, damaged, or abandoned + personal property, including but not limited to firearms, + ammunition, knives, archery equipment, personal vehicles, and + items left in common areas. Unattended firearms discovered on + venue property will be treated as a safety issue and may be + secured, removed, and handled in accordance with applicable law. + Items left behind after the Event will be held for a reasonable + period and then disposed of or donated at our discretion. + Firearms are an exception: we will not retain abandoned firearms + and will instead turn them over to the Boundary County Sheriff + in accordance with applicable law. +

The Water Activities are + unsupervised unless explicitly designated as supervised by + Event organizers. +
++ Assumption of risk. In addition to the + general assumption of risk in Section 7, you specifically + acknowledge and assume all risks inherent to water + activities, including but not limited to: drowning; + near-drowning; hypothermia; cold-water shock; slips, trips, + and falls on wet, slippery, or uneven surfaces (including + rocks, docks, ladders, and shoreline); submerged or + floating objects; sudden depth changes; currents; + underwater hazards; entrapment; waterborne illness; + sun exposure; wildlife (including snakes, leeches, and + aquatic life); equipment failure; weather changes; flash + flooding; and the absence of a lifeguard, swim buddy, or + trained water-rescue personnel on duty. +
++ Personal flotation devices (PFDs / life + jackets). +
+-
+
- + Attendee-supplied PFDs. Shiloh does + not supply personal flotation devices to Attendees as + a standard service. Each Attendee participating in any + Water Activity is required to supply their own + Coast-Guard-approved (USCG-approved) life jacket that + is properly sized, fastened, and in good condition. By + participating in any Water Activity, you represent + that you have supplied, and will use, an appropriate + PFD for yourself and for any minor in your care. A + very limited number of loaner PFDs may be available + at the dock as an emergency courtesy; see the + "Loaner PFDs" bullet below. + +
- + Children and non-swimmers. Any Attendee + who cannot swim, or any minor under the age of 13, must + wear a properly fitted, fastened, USCG-approved life + jacket at all times while in, on, or within ten (10) + feet of the edge of any body of water on venue property, + regardless of water depth, swimming ability, or the + presence of an adult. This requirement is not waivable + by the parent or guardian. + +
- + Canoes, kayaks, and paddle-craft. Every + occupant of any canoe, kayak, paddle-board, raft, or + other paddle-craft on venue waters must wear a + USCG-approved life jacket at all times while the craft + is on the water. The craft operator is responsible for + ensuring every occupant is properly outfitted before + launching. + +
- + Loaner PFDs (emergency courtesy only). + BYO PFD strongly encouraged. Shiloh makes a + very limited number of loaner PFDs available at the + dock for first-time or forgetful Attendees, on a + first-come, first-served basis. Loaner PFDs are + provided as a backup courtesy only, are not a + substitute for bringing your own, and are not a + guarantee of availability. Loaner PFDs are provided + "as is" with no warranty of fitness, sizing, or + condition; use of a loaner PFD is at the Attendee's + sole risk. Shiloh reserves the right to refuse to + loan a PFD and to require the Attendee to obtain one + elsewhere or to refrain from the Water Activity. + +
+ No lifeguard, no rescue duty. Unless an + Event-organized Water Activity is explicitly designated as + supervised (e.g., a posted, scheduled guided paddle), + Shiloh does not provide lifeguards, swim monitors, or + water-rescue personnel, and owes no duty to supervise, + monitor, or rescue Attendees in or near the water. You are + solely responsible for your own safety and the safety of + any minor or non-swimmer in your care. +
++ Swim-at-your-own-risk. All swimming, + wading, and floating is at the Attendee's own risk. Water + depth, current, and conditions may change without notice. + Shiloh does not measure, mark, certify, or warrant the + depth, cleanliness, temperature, or safety of any body of + water on venue property. +
++ Personal equipment generally. Shiloh does + not provide helmets, eye protection, gloves, closed-toe + footwear, weather-appropriate clothing, hydration supplies, + first-aid supplies, navigation tools, flashlights, + insect repellent, sunscreen, or other personal safety + equipment for any activity (land or water), except as + specifically posted for a supervised activity (e.g., eye + and ear protection at the gun range). You are responsible + for bringing, using, and maintaining your own personal + safety equipment appropriate to the activities you choose + to participate in. Equipment you bring is your + responsibility; we are not liable for the failure, + mis-sizing, or misuse of personal equipment. +
+5B. Accessibility & Reasonable Accommodation
++ Shiloh complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act + (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and will + engage in an interactive process for Attendees who require + reasonable accommodation to access the Event. Requests for + reasonable accommodation should be directed in advance to + hello@shilohecho.org + and should be made at least fourteen (14) days before the + Event start date. The ADA does not require Shiloh to grant + any request that would fundamentally alter the nature of + the Event, impose an undue burden, or pose a direct threat + to the safety of the Attendee or others. Nothing in + these Terms waives any right or remedy that cannot be + waived under the ADA, Section 504, or any other applicable + federal, state, or local disability-rights law. +
+5C. Posted Rules, Inspections, and Good-Faith Reporting
++ Posted rules. Posted signs, rules, and + instructions at specific activity locations (including but + not limited to signs stating "BYO PFD," "Helmets + Required," "Authorized Personnel Only Beyond This Point," + "Closed-toe Shoes Required," "No Glass Containers," or + similar) are incorporated into these Terms by reference and + have the same binding effect. Failure to observe posted + signs is a violation of these Terms. +
++ Pre-use inspection. Before using any + equipment provided by Shiloh (including but not limited to + any canoe, paddle, paddle-board, axe, smithing tool, horse, + harness, or any other equipment), the Attendee must + visually inspect the equipment for obvious defects. If the + equipment appears unsafe, the Attendee must not use it and + must report it to Event staff. Use of equipment after a + reasonable visual inspection constitutes the Attendee's + acceptance of the equipment's condition. +
++ Good-faith safety reports. Attendees are + encouraged to report safety concerns, near-misses, and rule + violations to Event staff. Good-faith reports will not be + used against the reporting Attendee in any civil, criminal, + or administrative proceeding, except in a proceeding for + false statements or fraudulent claims. This clause does not + prevent Event staff from investigating the underlying + incident or from taking safety action. +
+5D. Baptism and Water Immersion
++ Baptism is a religious ceremony involving full or partial + body immersion in the lake. You specifically acknowledge + and assume the risks of: cold-water immersion and shock; + hypothermia; loss of footing on submerged or slick + surfaces; entanglement in robes or wet garments; + post-immersion cold exposure; cardiac, respiratory, + pregnancy-related, and orthopedic stress; and the absence + of a lifeguard on duty. Participants are responsible for + assessing their own physical condition and for wearing + appropriate clothing and footwear for the conditions. +
+5E. Equestrian Activity Acknowledgment (Idaho Code § 6-1802 et seq.)
++ Warning: Under Idaho law, an equine + activity sponsor is not liable for any injury to or the + death of a participant in equine activities resulting from + the inherent risks of equine activities, pursuant to + Idaho Code § 6-1802 et seq. The inherent risks of equine + activities include, but are not limited to: +
+-

- Certain hazards such as surface and subsurface + conditions. +
- Collisions with other equines or objects. +
- The potential of a participant to act in a negligent + manner that may contribute to injury to the + participant or others, including but not limited to + failing to maintain reasonable control of the equine + or not acting within the participant's ability. +
+ Each Attendee who rides, handles, or is in close + proximity to any equine on venue property must sign a + separate written equine acknowledgment, in a form + substantially similar to the warning above, before + participating. A parent or legal guardian must sign on + behalf of any minor. +
+5F. Vehicle Parking, Camping, and Storage

+5G. Marketing Materials and Reliance
++ Notwithstanding any marketing materials, sponsorship + communications, social-media posts, vendor descriptions, + or other representations of the Event, attendance is at + the Attendee's own risk to the maximum extent permitted + by Idaho law. No representation, statement, or + description of the Event, whether written or oral, by + Event organizers, sponsors, vendors, or agents, shall + be construed as a warranty of safety, fitness for any + particular purpose, or guarantee against injury, except + as expressly set forth in these Terms. +
+5H. Medical Care, First Aid, and Emergency Response
++ First-aid supplies and, when available, personnel with + current first-aid or wilderness-first-responder + certification will be on-site during published Event hours. + On-site medical care is provided as a courtesy only and is + not a substitute for professional medical care.

The + nearest hospital is Boundary Community Hospital, Bonners + Ferry, Idaho. By attending, you acknowledge that on-site + medical care may be limited, delayed, or unavailable, and + you assume the risk of any such limitation, delay, or + absence.

Use of facilities (including but not + limited to the lake, dock, range, forge, and grounds) is + open to all attendees on the same terms regardless of + religious belief or non-belief. +
+5J. Volunteer Screening and Mandatory Reporting
++ Volunteer screening. All volunteers of + Shiloh with direct, regular, or unsupervised contact with + minors (defined as contact other than incidental, brief, + and in the immediate presence of a parent or guardian) + are subject to a criminal background check, including a + sex-offender registry check using the Idaho Sex Offender + Registry (https://sor.idaho.gov) and the U.S. Department + of Justice National Sex Offender Public Website + (https://www.nsopw.gov), prior to the start of their + service. Volunteers who appear on any sex-offender + registry or who have been convicted of any offense + involving a minor, violence, or a sexual offense are + prohibited from serving in any capacity involving access + to minors at the Event. +
++ Mandatory reporting. Shiloh complies with + Idaho's mandatory child-abuse reporting statute, Idaho + Code § 16-1605. Any allegation or reasonable suspicion of + child abuse, abandonment, or neglect observed at the + Event will be reported by Event staff to the Idaho + Department of Health and Welfare and to local law + enforcement as required by law. +
++ Volunteer dual role. Volunteers act in + their capacity as Event volunteers only, regardless of + any professional qualifications they may hold (e.g., + medical, military, or law-enforcement background). + Volunteers do not render professional services and are + not acting within any professional license while + performing volunteer duties. Any professional services + are the responsibility of the licensed individual and not + of Shiloh. +
+5K. Vendors, Contractors, and Independent Operators

+5N. Security, Lost-Child Protocol, and Threat Reporting
++ Security. Shiloh provides reasonable + security measures appropriate to a family-friendly + outdoor retreat, including perimeter lighting in main + activity areas, on-site security personnel during + published Event hours, and emergency contact procedures. + Shiloh does not warrant or guarantee Attendee safety + from criminal acts of third parties.

++ Threat reporting. Attendees have a + duty to promptly report to Event staff any safety + concern, threat, weapon violation, or violation of + these Terms. Failure to report a known safety concern + is a violation of these Terms and may result in + removal and forfeiture of any claim arising from the + unreported incident to the maximum extent permitted + by Idaho law. +
6. Children & Supervision
Children are welcome and encouraged to attend with their families. + "Direct adult supervision" means that the + responsible adult is in the immediate vicinity, in line of + sight of the minor, and able to respond within seconds to + the minor's needs. A parent or guardian who leaves a minor + unattended on venue property, or who permits a minor to + be outside the scope of "direct adult supervision," + assumes all risk of injury to that minor and releases + Shiloh from any duty to supervise, monitor, or protect + that minor. +
+Parents and guardians are responsible at all times for the - supervision, safety, and behavior of their minor children.
