Occasionally, for reasons that are beyond our control, we are forced to cancel or make changes to a camp.
If we cancel a camp, all of the money you paid to the ACC will be refunded. Please note that in the event of cancellation, the ACC is not responsible for any expenses incurred by a participant in preparation for the trip, including but not limited to airline tickets, visa fees, medical expenses and equipment purchases.
If a camp is cancelled due to low registration numbers, you will be given the option to attend a different camp (assuming you are approved by the Camp Guide and/or Manager). If the replacement camp costs less than the original, you will be refunded the difference. If the replacement camp costs more than the original, you will be required to pay the difference.
The Alpine Club of Canada may be forced to alter the details, logistics or other aspects of any ACC camp for any reason, including (but not restricted to) guides and/or other camp staff availability, weather conditions and safety concerns. You will be notified of changes as early as possible. Changes will not affect the basic nature and essence of the camp, and therefore refunds will not be granted.
If the first day of a camp involves a helicopter or airplane flight, and the flight is delayed by weather, the participants will be responsible for paying for accommodation and food requirements while waiting for the flight. If a camp is delayed at the end by weather, participants will not be charged for additional guide days, food or accommodation.
For all camps, we recommend that you contact us before booking/paying for your flight to ensure the likelihood that the camp is going to run. Please be aware that when booking flights to the area you do so at your own risk, but feel free to contact us at any time to review camp status.
