Camps and Courses Cancellation Policy

This article covers the key cancellation rules for ACC camps and courses. For the full policy across all booking types, see the Booking and Cancellation Policy page.

Programs of 5+ days

• 50% non-refundable deposit at registration
• Remaining balance charged 60 days before your adventure, and is non-refundable once processed
• Registrations made within 60 days of the camp are 100% non-refundable

Programs under 5 days

Programs of fewer than 5 days are 100% non-refundable, unless the ACC cancels the program.

Date changes

Date changes are treated as cancellations under the same refund rules. The Adventures team will do their best to help with transfers when possible, but availability isn't guaranteed.

Transferring your spot to another participant

If you can't attend a camp you're registered for, the ACC may be able to transfer your registration to another participant who meets the program's requirements. Once we confirm the replacement participant's registration, you and they are responsible for arranging any difference in camp fees between yourselves. Contact adventures@alpineclubofcanada.ca as soon as you know you can't attend.

If the program can't proceed

If a program can't run as planned (for example, weather closure or low enrolment), the ACC will help you find a suitable alternative. If the alternative costs more, you'll pay the difference; if it costs less, you'll be refunded the balance. If no suitable alternative is available, you'll receive a refund of your program fee less a $100 administration fee.

Trip cancellation insurance is strongly recommended for camps and courses with significant prepaid costs.
