CANCELLATION POLICY FOR CAMPS & CLASSES

Please take a moment to review our updated cancellation policy camps and classes. We are a small family business and we do our best to keep our camps affordable for families. This means we do a lot of the jobs, including behind the computer admin & registration. We care a lot about your kids and hope to spend as much time with them as possible! A reasonable cancellation policy ensures that you respect our time and that we can pay staff and run camp effectively. Our programs are non-refundable unless cancelled one week in advance. Upon this cancellation, you will be refunded 75% of the amount minus the 25% deposit. Please register with some level of certainty in your scheduling, or with the understanding that you are putting down a 25% non-refundable deposit.

Thank you for your cooperation!

REFUNDS

For all Aqualand programs, refunds minus a 25% non refundable deposit will be granted for cancellations made by 6pm on the Monday one week prior to the start of camp the following Monday. This will allow us time to rebook another camper. Refunds will not be issued for “no shows”. Refunds must be requested by emailing info@aqualandofthefree.com. If a refund request is made in time, Aqualand will offer a refund of the 75% based upon the original payment method. In addition, please note the following: (i) days missed in weekly and monthly class sessions will not be refunded; and (ii) make-up classes will be up to the digression of Aqualand.
