1. Cancellation and Refund Policy
(updated 1/15/2022)
We are striving to balance equitable refunds with the inherent financial risk that Wonder Roots must assume under the uncertainty of operating during a pandemic. We have decided to alter our original return policy for our programs. We have created a tiered, per-diem refund plan that maximizes refunds for COVID cancellations while still meeting Wonder Roots' financial obligations in offering in-person programming.
If for any reason you would like to cancel your child's enrollment in our programs, and it is:
- More than 4 weeks before the program state date: You may receive a full refund minus 15% non-refundable deposit.
- More than 2 weeks of the program start date: You will receive 50% refund.
- Less than 2 weeks notice before the start date: You will incur no refund.
If we have to cancel an ENTIRE program due to COVID-19, when possible-- you may choose to:
- Enroll your child into another program of equal value,
- Receive a full credit good for 18 months of the original program start date,
- Or you may receive a full refund minus the 15% non-refundable deposit.
Summer/Vacation programs:
Year-long Programs:
Should we need to cancel a day (or more) due to COVID, we will issue credits for a tiered, per-diem amount. For the first TEN program days of COVID cancellations, you will receive a refund of 50% of each prorated day. Subsequent cancelled days will be credited at 100% of each prorated day. Refunds will not be issued for snow days or other non-COVID related closures.
NOTE: We can only offer pre-diem credits for days that were canceled by Wonder Roots due to COVID. Aside from extenuating circumstances, refunds/credits will not be issued due to individual sick days or scheduling conflicts.
All program credits are good for 18 months after the original program start date and can be used for any TimberNookBTV or Wonder Roots LLC program.
2. Health Policies
As the our community begins to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, we realize now more than ever, how important it is to have access to natural surroundings where children and families have time and space to create, collaborate and challenge their minds and bodies. We remain committed to providing this opportunity to our community. Times as these call for flexibility and adaptation and as a result, we have established the following policies and procedures regarding mitigating the risk of COVID-19 exposure. We have sought guidance from the Vermont Health Department, Center for Disease Control and the American Camp Association and continue to stay updated as best as possible.These policies may be subject to change based on the fluidity of the pandemic situation in our community.
