​
What if I need to cancel or reschedule?
No cancellations 5 months prior to a scheduled retreat. Our guests book well in advance and unfortunately, as a small family business, we end up in a very compromising position. If you need to reschedule and it is 4 months prior to your scheduled date we will be able to do that based on availability. If you cancel no later than 151 days prior to your scheduled retreat there is a 15% processing fee on the total and then the remaining balance will be refunded. If there are weather concerns, as they will come and go, we may be able to reschedule your day retreat, but no guarantee. Overnight retreats are not refundable or eligible for reschedule based on weather.
​
Who needs to sign a waiver?
Everyone who comes to the retreat
