TRIP POLICIES
- DAY TRIPS Full payment is required at time of reservation. Telephone reservations will be held for a period of 72 hours (3 days) only.
- The day trips are planned around the use of the Center's 12 passenger bus. Folks are finding out they need to register early or they will miss out. After 12 people register a waiting list is started for the next sized bus and we need 24 more people to rent that bus. Early registration gets you on the first bus.
- TRIP INSURANCE IS STRONGLY ADVISED ESPECIALLY FOR 3 DAY OR LONGER TRIPS. IN ORDER TO COVER PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS IT MUST BE PURCHASED WITHIN 14 DAYS OF MAKING THE DEPOSIT CANCELLATION BY PASSENGER: If the trip is through an outside tour group their cancellation policies will apply. Policies vary from agency to agency so check with the center for clarification. It is strongly recommended that when booking extended trips, in most cases, you should secure trip insurance for your own peace of mind. If the trip is solely arranged by the Senior Center a full refund will be issued only IF A REPLACEMENT IS FOUND. Replacements may be made from the Center's waiting list, if there is one. If there is no one on the waiting list the passenger is responsible for finding a replacement. The Center does not guarantee a replacement will be found.
- CANCELLATION BY CENTER: A full refund will be issued. The charter trips listed above are open to the public of all ages. If you have interests regarding a trip not listed, please contact Joyce Dunn at the Camano Center. Call the Center at 387-0222 for more information or reservations. TIPPING: On motor coach trips a tip will be collected for the driver. The going rate is $4 to $10 dollars depending on length of trip and, of course, service. You are responsible for tipping at restaurants when eating on your own. On extended trips other tips will be specified by trip.
- DEPOSITS/FINAL PAYMENTS: For one day trips full payment is due at time of registration. Extended trips will have the payment schedule listed at the end of the tour description, if we are using a tour company their policies will apply to deposit, final payments and refunds, etc. Generally there is a deposit due at time of registration and a deadline for payment in full. Refunds are generally based on a decreasing percentage of the cost of the trip based on how far ahead of departure date the trip is canceled. We accept VISA and MasterCard.
