AFTER A CONFIRMATION EMAIL HAS BEEN SENT TO YOU, YOU WILL ALSO RECEIVE A PAY PAL MONEY REQUEST (SECURE WEB TRANSFER) THAT REFLECTS YOUR PAYMENT PLAN. WE REQUIRE A NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT WITHIN 5 WORKING DAYS, AFTER HAVING RECEIVED THE CONFIRMATION EMAIL TO SECURE YOUR BOOKING.

REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU CHOOSE THE 2 PART PAYMENT PLAN, OR THE 4 PART PAYMENT PLAN, THE TOTAL BALANCE IS DUE NO LESS THAN 4 WEEKS BEFORE THE GATHERING IN OCTOBER 2017. 

FOR RESERVATIONS MADE LESS THAN ONE MONTH IN ADVANCE, WE REQUIRE FULL PAYMENT (NON-REFUNDABLE). 

IT IS THE CUSTOMER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO READ AND UNDERSTAND OUR CANCELLATION POLICY BEFORE MAKING A RESERVATION.

#BRB DOES NOT OFFER CASH/CHECK OR CREDIT CARD REFUNDS FOR ANY REASON. A PORTION OF YOUR PAYMENT MAY BE USED AS CREDIT FOR ANOTHER GATHERING WITHIN ONE YEAR OF YOUR ORIGINAL DATE. HOWEVER, WE WILL GLADLY TRANSFER YOUR CREDIT TO ANOTHER GUEST FOR THE GATHERING, INITIALLY BOOKED.

IN THE EVENT OF CANCELLATION BY THE CUSTOMER, REGARDLESS OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES, THE FOLLOWING REFUND FEES, MINUS THE DEPOSIT, APPLY. DEPENDING ON WHEN YOU CANCEL, CANCELLATION FEES MAY APPLY. FEES ARE DETERMINED BY THE FOLLOWING SCHEDULE:

  • WHEN CANCELING 60 DAYS BEFORE YOUR GATHERING START DATE, 75% OF YOUR PAYMENT MAY BE APPLIED TO ANOTHER RECESS RETREAT

WE UNDERSTAND THAT NO ONE BOOKS WITH THE INTENTION OF CANCELING OR POSTPONING THEIR TRIP, BUT SOMETIMES UNEXPECTED THINGS HAPPEN, WHICH IS WHY WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU BUY A TRAVEL CANCELLATION INSURANCE. DEPENDING ON THE POLICY AND CONDITIONS, TRAVEL CANCELLATION INSURANCE WILL PAY FOR SOME OR ALL CANCELLATION FEES. WITH MOST AGENCIES, INSURANCE MUST BE PURCHASED WITHIN 14 DAYS OF MAKING YOUR RESERVATION.
