Private Event Tuition and Refund Policy

Please read the following carefully:

The refund policy for Public Outings can be found at the bottom of our Events Page.

For Private Courses:

  • Pricing may vary. Prices listed on our website are baseline costs. Listings do not assume travel costs to areas outside of Whatcom County. Custom courses taking place outside of Whatcom County are subject to an additional fee based on mileage and commute. Prices increase at a baseline of 40/hr when you add time to a set length. Prices increase at a baseline of 40/topic when you add topics to a short course or half day course. A complete outline defining all costs for the purpose of transparency is available by request. Any additional costs and price variation will be discussed with you before you commit to your purchase.

  • Non-refundable deposit: A 50% non-refundable deposit is required for all private lessons. Your course will only be scheduled when the deposit is made. The deposit is due when Northwest Natura provides a payment link to you. You may pay the entire tuition all at once with the link provided if you wish.

  • Rescheduling: Rescheduling your private event without additional fees is allowed up to 8 days prior to the event. Requesting to reschedule your private event with less than 8 days’ notice is subject to a 20% rescheduling fee.

  • Cancellations: Refunds for 50% of tuition will be rewarded if at least 10 days’ notice of cancellations is given. Cancelling your event in less than 10 days of your event will not include a refund.
