Although we realize that emergencies do arise, we need you to understand that we have confirmed contracts with vendors, thus the Village is NOT entitled to a refund. Because of these contracts, NO REFUNDS will be given for any trip unless there is a waiting list and a replacement for your reservation can be found or you can find a replacement for your reservation. If this is the case, you must notify the Recreation office immediately. Your cooperation in this matter is appreciated. For refunds, please allow 6-8 weeks for processing.

Because of the lack of outside waiting facilities, we recommend that you do not come to the bus until ten (10) minutes before leave time.
