Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!
Payment is due immediately after acceptance to the trip. Cancellations will only receive a refund if a replacement is found.
Adult cost for hut is approx $160/adult and approx $90/child. Children under 2 are free! Wilderness passes will be required by all and are an additional cost if you don't have one already. Exact costs will be calculated once final numbers are known. New payment method has been implemented this year by the Executive and details will be sent along with payments due once participants are selected onto the trip.
*Cancellation Policy*: If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons. The Calgary Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.
