We want your class experience to be fun and stress-free. Here are a few things to know before you sign up:

  • We need at least 2 students for a class to run. If we don’t reach that number, we’ll reschedule and make sure you get a spot in the next session.
  • Class fees are non-refundable, but life happens! If you can’t make it, we’ll gladly move you into a future class of the same type (as long as there’s room).
  • If you miss class without letting us know, we won’t be able to offer a refund or reschedule.
  • Safety comes first. If the weather is unsafe, we’ll reschedule and keep you updated by email or phone.
