REGISTRATION AND POLICIES

             

Age Restrictions

The minimum age for our dogsled trips is 14 years old. All children will be riding on the same sled and stay in the same accommodations as their parents or guardians. Children 14-15 years old will receive a 10% discount. Youth 16 and older are treated as adults and as such charged full fare. Due to the rugged nature of our backcountry trails, participants must be a minimum of 16 years old in order to drive a dog sled. This is not only for the safety of participants, but for the safety of the dogs as well.

Our Temagami and other extended Expedition trips require each participant to be able to control their own sled and dog team, for this reason children are not able to join these trips. Older youth may be accepted on a case-by-case basis.

Registration

To register for one of our trips simply contact us by phone or email to confirm trip availability. Upon receipt of your registration form, we will confirm your space and send you instructions for paying a 25-50% deposit to secure your place. Full payment is required 30 days in advance of your departure date (or immediately if booking last minute). If the remaining payment is not received when due, Snow Forest Adventures reserves the right to treat the reservation as cancelled.

Snow Forest Adventures reserves the right to refuse registration and subsequent participation to any registrant who would be considered to be at considerable medical/physical risk as a result of participation in any of our programs.

Included in Cost

All meals, accommodation, park permits and guiding services are included in your trip. And let’s not forget the sleds, equipment and dogs! See specific trip descriptions for details. Please note that all prices are quoted in Canadian dollars.

Cancellation

We will do our absolute best to avoid cancelling a trip, and as such Snow Forest Adventures reserves the right to change itineraries if it will enhance your experience or we are forced to do so by circumstances beyond our control. Although it is unlikely, Snow Forest Adventures does reserve the right to cancel a trip in advance of the departure date. If we are forced to cancel a trip for any reason, we shall endeavour to meet your needs with another trip date at your earliest convenience (assuming there are available trip dates within the season). No reimbursement is provided for trips that need to be cancelled or shortened due to weather, unsafe trail conditions or government lockdowns. For this reason, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND travel insurance.

In the event that you need to cancel your booking, a refund will be issued if the cancellation is received more than 30 days prior to the trip departure. A 10% processing fee applies for all cancellations and you will receive your refund once your spot has been filled. No refunds will be issued if the cancellation is less than 30 days before the trip departure.

We highly recommend purchasing Travel Insurance. This will ensure that weather or emergencies won't cost you your highly anticipated adventure.  Outdoor expeditions are at the mercy of Mother Nature and her cooperation is not guaranteed.  There is nothing we hate more than having this happen and in the event you are unable to reschedule, we want to be sure you get properly reimbursed for your missed trip as well as your travel and hotel expenses. Travel insurance will provide that reimbursement.
