Rates

Rate Conditions

1. The fee is a flat rate and is not pro-rata for missed days or race days.

2. Away race costs are not included in the flat camp cost, this is the industry standard practice as away race costs cannot be fixed.

3. Please review all extra conditions of training listed at bottom of page.

4. Non-scheduled airport pickup and deliveries are costed as an addition to the set camp fee. Non-scheduled pickups can only be serviced where resources are available to service the request. (Calgary airport is 1.5 hours drive from Canmore, so non-scheduled pickups are not trivial).

5. International Racer reserves the right to refuse admittance or alter groups based on numbers

6. All Canadian based camps must charge GST under Canadian Tax law. International Racer is legally bound to collect 5% GST of the camp fee as an exclusive cost.
