Symposium Cancellation Policy
|
Carpe Diem Kayaking is proud to be offering the 4th
Annual Downeast Sea Kayaking Symposium September 11-14, 2009.
September is the loveliest of seasons in Maine, and Bar Harbor offers a
vast and fairly consistent set of conditions suitable for all level of
classes we’ll be offering during the symposium. But
we
can’t control Mother Nature—she doesn’t
even take our
calls! We realize that many factors other than weather might
come
up to prevent you from attending—illness, family emergencies,
business, natural disasters, the sudden realization that you
can’t possibly come to Bar Harbor since you’d never
want to
leave such a fabulous place. But to provide the best possible
experience for you, we’ll be committed to coaches and all
sorts
of service providers. So…no refunds will be given
for any
reason after August 1st. We strongly recommend you purchase
trip
insurance. For cancellations before August 1st we can offer a
75%
refund.
