REFUNDS
AND CANCELLATIONS
A refund equal to 50% of the purchase price may be given when
the refund is requested a minimum of four weeks before the start of the camp,
this includes any goods or services purchased in conjunction with the camp. If
a refund is requested within four weeks of camp, no refund will be given. The
refund of one or more camps may affect the sale prices charged in the previous
transaction, and therefore may affect the refund. In the event that multiple
camps have been purchased, and a refund is requested, amounts refunded will
begin with the least expensive camp and progress higher in purchase price as
needed according to purchases within the same transaction. When possible,
Lauritzen Gardens can transfer a camp registration to another session. However,
transfer requests are based on availability.
