Waiver and Liability Form for Christian Women's Retreats

Get it in writing before the weekend starts.

A ministry leader emailed me a while back asking if I had a waiver and release of liability form she could use. We hadn't ever used a specific one, but the minute she asked I knew she was right that we should have.

So I researched it and wrote one.

Here's my honest disclaimer up front: I'm not a lawyer, and this isn't a legally binding document. If you need something that will hold up in court, take it to your church's attorney and have them look it over.

But if what you want is to have it in writing that the women understood the risks, agreed to the responsibilities, and gave permission to use their photos, this form does that. It's two pages, it's in plain language, and it's ready to hand out.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

✅ Two-page waiver and release of liability form
✅ Editable version in Canva
✅ Editable version in Google Docs
✅ Risk acknowledgment and responsibilities section
✅ Photo and image permission release
✅ Customizable fields marked in red so you know exactly what to change
✅ One PDF with instructions and both template links
✅ Yours permanently, reuse for every retreat you plan

WHAT THIS FORM COVERS

The risks. Whatever your retreat involves, hiking, water, late nights, a bus ride, the women read it and sign it before they arrive instead of finding out in the parking lot.

The responsibilities. What they're agreeing to and what's expected of them while they're with you.

The photos. You're going to want pictures for the church newsletter and next year's flyer. This is where you ask for permission in writing instead of hoping nobody minds.

HOW TO CUSTOMIZE IT

Your download is one PDF with instructions and two links inside. In Canva you'll click Edit Template, and in Google Docs you'll click Use Template. Either one saves a copy straight to your own account.

Everything you need to change is already marked in red. Fill in your church name, your retreat name and dates, and the specific activities you're planning, then change the red to whatever color you'd like and print two pages per woman.

Collect them at check-in and keep them somewhere you'll be able to find them.
