Refund and Class Cancellation Policy

You will receive a full refund less a $75 administrative fee (per person) if you cancel at least thirty days before the class begins (unless otherwise specified). No refunds will be made for cancellations received less than thirty days before the class start date. As a nonprofit organization on a tight budget, GCFI cannot make exceptions to this refund policy for any reason, including personal emergencies or weather.

If GCFI must cancel a class you will receive a full tuition refund. We will notify you at least thirty days before the start date if we find it necessary to cancel. Classes utilizing commercial river outfitters and llama outfitters, as well as our collaborations with other organizations, may have a special refund policy that will be set forth in preclass materials.

Insurance and Liability

Participants are strongly encouraged to purchase trip cancellation insurance through a travel agent. This insurance protects you against financial loss if you must cancel or interrupt a trip because of illness or injury to yourself, a family member, or traveling companion. Participants must provide their own health and accident insurance. Each participant will be required to fill out an Assumption of Risk (pdf) form and Health Questionnaire (pdf) before participating in any class.
