Description
Jowe Lynne Nelson, a minor (born August 27, 1986), and her mother, Rhonda Nelson, appeal a summary judgment dismissing their claims against Eau Claire County and its insurer arising out of Jowes injuries suffered when she fell into a campfire while visiting a county park with her putative father, Jan Paul Schreiner. The circuit court held the county immune under the recreational immunity statute, sec. 895.52, Stats. The plaintiffs argue that: (1) the county cannot invoke the statute without proof of Jowes intent to engage in recreation and that she could not purposefully do so at the tender age of twenty-one months; (2) camping is an immune recreational activity only when it occurs at a primitive, undeveloped site; (3) the campground was a commercial enterprise and not entitled to immunity; and (4) a jury issue is presented whether immunity was abrogated because the county knew of several prior campfire injuries at the same park. We reject each argument and affirm.
