Return to WUB in the Woods Event PageWUB Society of Canada - Retreat Cancellation Policy
At the WUB Society of Canada, we understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise and that plans may need to change. However, as we rely on an accurate headcount for our retreats to ensure everyone has a quality experience, we adhere to the following cancellation policy:
90+ Days Prior to Retreat Start Date: If a participant cancels their registration 90 or more days prior to the retreat start date, they will receive a 100% refund of their payment, minus a $75 administrative fee. This fee covers the costs associated with the administrative work of processing registrations, cancellations, and refunds, as well as the software systems we use to manage these processes.
30-59 Days Prior to Retreat Start Date: If a participant cancels between 30 to 59 days before the retreat start date, they will receive a 50% refund of their payment. We retain the other half to cover costs associated with late changes in our planning and logistics.
0-29 Days Prior to Retreat Start Date: If a cancellation is made 0-29 days before the retreat start date, no refund will be provided. This is due to the costs incurred in anticipation of your participation, including food, accommodations, and materials.
We recommend that all participants consider purchasing travel insurance that can cover costs in case of cancellation.
Please note that all cancellation requests must be submitted in writing and received by our office in accordance with these time frames to be eligible for a refund.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation with our cancellation policy.
