Booking, Refunds & Cancellation Policies

We will only be accepting guests who have been fully vaccinated against Covid-19. We may ask that you present proof of vaccination.

Refunds will NOT be given in the event that weather prevents a trip from proceeding. It is rare that weather or unsafe travel conditions prevent a trip from going ahead.

**We strongly recommend that participants purchase travel insurance to cover losses due to these circumstances**

TRAINING COURSES & DAY TRIPS

For all training courses and day trips totalling less than $750.00 per person, full payment is due at the time of registration with a credit card via our online booking platform (BOOK IT).

Unfortunately your payment is non-refundable unless you can find a replacement participant for your course. If you must cancel your training, contact us and we can work together to try and fill your spot. If we can, we will issue you a refund. The sooner we know, the better!

CUSTOM TRIPS

For multi-day, custom trips valuing greater than $750.00 per person, a 50% DEPOSIT IS DUE UPON BOOKING YOUR TRIP. Costs for custom trips will be calculated based on the trip we work with you to design (GO CUSTOM). We will provide a credit card or e-transfer payment option for these trips.

WINTER TRIPS: FULL PAYMENT REQUIRED BY NOV 1

SUMMER TRIPS: FULL PAYMENT REQUIRED BY APRIL 1

If you cancel more than 60 days prior to the start of your trip, Skookum will retain the 50% deposit.

Once full payment is received, your trip fee is NON-REFUNDABLE unless you can find a replacement participant for your trip.Substitute participants are accepted in most cases provided the substitute participant meets the requirements and prerequisites associated with the trip.
