THE
FINE PRINT
The
Basics: Guests
may pay for their program in either Canadian (CD$) or US (US$) dollars. We
accept VISA, MasterCard, and AMEX. Note for our American/International
guests: these charges are made in Canadian dollars and converted by your
credit card company at the best exchange rate to your currency. All
our prices are quoted PER PERSON. Taxes (federal and provincial) are added
to the quoted program price. The 6% federal tax (called the GST) is
partially refundable to our international guests (we provide a receipt and
an official refund application form upon your departure). All
our prices and program activities are subject to change without notice. All our guests are required to sign a waiver and release of liability form before starting their program with us. As our activities take place in remote locations, sometimes without quick access to medical help, these activities may be hazardous and require acknowledgement of risk by our guests. We
do not permit possession or use of tobacco products anywhere on our
property. Our
Terms:
A
$500 deposit is required to reserve your space in your selected program.
We suggest reserving early as we can only accommodate a maximum of 14
guests; most programs sell out months in advance and have a waiting list.
Upon receipt of your deposit, we will send you a confirmation package
including a complete packing list of things you will need for your
vacation, as well as a questionnaire, waiver and medical form that must be
returned to us in advance of your arrival. The
balance of the payment is due 60 days before arrival to retain your
reservation; we reserve the right to sell your space if your balance has
not been paid 60 days before your original arrival date. Cancellation
Policy: Deposits
are only refundable more than 60 days prior to the originally scheduled
arrival date, minus a $200 administration fee per person. Within 60 days
of the originally scheduled arrival date, both deposits and balances of
payment are non-refundable. If
you must cancel your trip 2 weeks or more in advance of your originally
scheduled arrival date, you MAY be able to reschedule your vacation within
the same season, DEPENDING UPON AVAILABILITY, and have your full deposit
or balance transferred. Cancellations less than 2 weeks prior to arrival
cannot be rescheduled or refunded. We
