developed over time the following necessary policies for camp enrolment.

Mandatory. A signed enrolment form and a deposit of $1000.00 CAD is required to request a place in our camps. We cannot register your place until these are received.
[2] The balance of the camp payment must be paid
at a minimum 30 days prior to camp starting to secure your place.
[3] First paid first secured, however, full 6 week participants get place preference over shorter term athletes.
[4] If the camp has already filled you may request entry
onto the programs waiting list. A place will come available if an
athlete cancels their place or we get sufficient numbers to create a new
group.

reserves the right to cancel a training camp based on insufficient numbers for participation. Booked participants will be notified of cancellation 30 days prior to the start of the affected block. International Racer, reserves the right to vary group numbers when necessary,
though maintains a policy to keep numbers at (LE 8:1) in most conditions.
[6] Airport pickup and delivery are set days only, if is
not possible for you to get a flight arriving in the morning on set days, you should arrive on the day before. We are not always able to
accommodate non-standard pickups, athletes with this dilemma may be directed to a bus service. Non-standard pickup/delivery requests will be costed and scheduled
separate to the advertised camp fee.
