Payment and Refund Policy
A $500 non-refundable deposit is required to secure participation. We will invoice the remainder of the total camp price when the camp has the minimum number of participants. We use these funds to secure flights, hotels and activities, most of which require full payment. We highly recommend that you purchase a travel protection plan at the time of registration. This will cover trip cancellation charges in certain circumstances.
Cancellation by Participants
The $500 deposit is non-refundable. All time ranges below refer to cancellation by the participant prior to the camp departure date.
≥ 61 days: Recoverable costs will be refunded minus the $500 deposit. Non-recoverable costs may include cancellation fees, surcharges, or nonrefundable deposits charged by vendors and suppliers such as hotels, airlines, or other third parties. Since lodging and transportation are costs shared across participants, refunds may be available if another participant is able to fill the vacated spot.
< 60 days: no costs are refundable
Cancellation by Riveted Kids
If we do not have a minimum number of participants 90 days before a program begins, or as decided dependent on flight availability, then the camp will be cancelled, at which point deposits and programs fees are 100% refundable.
Exceptions
There are no exceptions to this cancellation policy, including for reasons related to weather, terrorism, civil strife, political travel policy changes, personal emergencies or any other circumstances beyond our control. Please purchase trip insurance to protect yourself against these eventualities.
