CANCELLATION POLICY

Wilderness & Intensive Programs | Leadership Training & Community Programs

Thank you for considering one of our unique, life-affirming wilderness and intensive programs! Here are the details of our cancellation policy.

Our Special Use Permits with the Olympic National Park service limit our programs to 9 participants, with 3 adult guides who are hired in advance. Due to the intensive nature and depth of commitment involved in our programs, it often takes time for families to research, connect with staff, and decide to enroll. In addition, families tend to book their summer activities far in advance. It is very rare that participants join us in the last few weeks before a program starts, so a late cancellation is likely to leave an empty space on the program.

Deposits are nonrefundable

As an educational, mission-based nonprofit, we channel all available funds to run our lean operation, deliver soul-enriching leadership training and community programs, and prepare for transformational rite of passage journeys. Your deposit funds essential operations and securing skilled staff and necessary resources in advance, and is nonrefundable. Please note that for those who receive financial aid, the full deposit amount remains non-refundable, even if the full deposit amount is not paid initially as a deposit.

Money for the course is given freely to support well-being—for the participants, guides, partnering organizations, and the work as a whole, and will be spent to meet the financial needs of the course once given. If participants cancel after financially contributing and/or leave early, we ask them to consider how their changing circumstances fit within the resource flow framework of Rites & Responsibilities, and to work together with the guides to find a solution that works well for everyone.
