How much does it cost to attend?
Program registration fees are $65 unless otherwise noted. Supplies and materials are provided for in-person sessions.
What if I need to cancel/request a refund?
Unless otherwise noted, full refunds minus a 5% processing fee will be considered if someone on the waitlist is available to take your spot. No refunds are available unless we are able to fill the spot. Exceptions are provided for family emergencies or serious health issues with documentation. No refund request will be honored if submitted less than 7 business days prior to the date of the program.
What is the waitlist?
Our registration system will automatically generate a waitlist when a program is full. If there is availability within the program, the registration system automatically sends an email to the participant at the top of the waitlist.
COVID-19 Policy
If a participant is exhibiting symptoms consistent with COVID-19 or tests positive for COVID-19 or needs to quarantine in accordance with CDC or Georgia Department of Public Health (GDPH) guidelines at the time of programming then a full refund will be applied with documentation.

Any short-term unforeseen weather or other emergencies will not be able to be refunded partially in any form.
