We are SO EXCITED to frolick through the forest with you! Please use this form to secure your spot in Backpacking 101.
You can choose to either pay in full or pay in three installments!
Payment Plan:
After a deposit to secure your spot, your remaining balance will be split into TWO installments that are due by the following schedule:
Payment 2: Friday, August 30
Payment 3: Friday, September 27
Due dates for payment plans will have a seven day grace period. Any payments 14 days overdue will be assessed a $25/week late fee. We will make every effort to contact you before the 14 day fees are applied. Payments exceeding 30 days overdue will be subject to trip cancellation with no refund. you before the 14 day fees are applied. Payments exceeding 30 days overdue will be subject to trip cancellation with no refund.
Cancellation Policy:
This cancellation policy has been designed to be as flexible and compassionate as possible because we know LIFE HAPPENS, but please understand that it also serves to protect the Sober Pal team and the blood, sweat and tears we put into these experiences.
- Full refund before August 30
- 50% refund after August 30
- No refunds after September 27
- Bookings are transferable, meaning someone can take your spot as long as their application is approved. This must be done at least five days before the trip!
No one books with the intention of canceling, but unexpected events do occur, so please consider purchasing travel insurance. We put months of work into each retreat and cancellations cost us time, labor, and money (I learned this the hard way and it was not fun). Exceptions cannot be made for any reason, including weather, injury/illness, or personal emergencies. No refunds or credits for failure to attend or failure to complete the retreat, or for arriving late or leaving early.
I recommend that you purchase travel insurance if you want additional protection with things like flights, transportation, lost luggage, etc. Trip cancellation insurance is also a good idea because fees will be covered should you have a medical problem prior to your trip or while on the trip. Trip insurance can also cover medical expenses in the event you have an accident while on the retreat. TRUST ME it’s worth the investment!
