Refund & Weather Policy

Refund Policy

Neither registration to this school nor actual enrollment may be transferred to another person. No substitutes are allowed and refunds are limited. All enrollments are contingent upon completion of online registration, timely receipt of a properly signed ACA waiver, health form and medical release form (for minor participant) and timely receipt of payment of all fees.

Limited, partial refunds of the $100 course fee may be allowed within certain time limits.

Refund requests must be sent to:  Debbie Shepherd, School of River Paddling Director at: debjdayz@gmail.com 

If you withdraw from the School one month prior (May 10th), we will refund 75 percent of the course fee. If you withdraw later, but at least one week prior (June 3rd), we will refund 25 percent of the course fee.

If you do not notify the School Director within these time limits of your wish to withdraw, you will not receive a refund. Denial of a special request is not cause for a refund. Likewise, failure to show up for the school is not cause for a refund.

Weather Policy

In the event that bad weather results in high river levels and unfavorable water conditions, or other unforeseen events beyond the Arkansas Canoe Club’s control, the school will still be held. Classes will continue at alternate sites, which may include flat water and will be determined by the School Director.

Since the school will be held regardless of hot, cold, rain or shine, be sure to come prepared for a variety of weather temperatures and conditions!
