Late Policy
Out of respect for all participants, we ask that you arrive on time for your trip or workshop. If you arrive late, your adventure may have already begun, and though we do our best to get you on the trip, in some cases your trip will leave without you!
For trips:Â
Trip Leaders will wait no more than 15 minutes for individuals who are late the day of their trip. After 15 minutes, trip leaders are permitted to depart as planned. Late arrivals who have missed the group’s departure, for any reason, will not receive a refund.Â
For workshops:Â
Trip Leaders will wait no more than 5 minutes for individuals who are late before starting the workshop. If you are more than 5 minutes late to your workshop, you may join for the remainder of the workshop so long as it does not disrupt progress of the workshop. There is no guarantee you will be able to participate in your scheduled activity if you arrive late.
