2020 Cancellation Deadlines
Please email Katie Johnstone, Education Coordinator, if you need to release your spot at least 7 days before your session begins. There is a $75 “no-show” fee applied if you are absent without notifying us by the deadlines below.
Why the “no-show” fee?
The $75 fee will be directed to the Education Bursary, which allows us to offer free and subsidized programming for our community. When someone neglects to notify us that they are releasing their spot in a camp/workshop, they are in effect holding the spot from another person and altering the experience of those that do show up. If you notify us that you’re releasing your spot at least seven days before the session begins (see below), you will not be charged.
