All of our outdoor programs are subject to the weather and environmental conditions that exist on the dates you have chosen. In signing up for a trip, you are agreeing to attempt the program even if conditions are not “ideal.”

Before the trip begins -- if conditions are deemed unsafe by the guide, we reserve the right to change the venue, itinerary, or activity. If we decide that conditions are unsuitable for any alternative activities, we will work with you to reschedule or refund.
-
After your trip begins -- if weather or conditions make the original plan not feasible, you are not entitled to a refund.
Trip Cancellation Insurance
Edgeworks strongly encourages the purchase of trip cancellation insurance that covers losses in the event that illness or injury prevents participation in your chosen program. There are many providers of this service; we have had positive experiences with TravelGuard.com.
