SIGN UP or DROP: trips OR hike training

 3 STEPS:

1) Register online (Gets you on the list)

2) Deposit (sets the date)

3) Payment(s) (Must be current).

Payment options; Pay in full or by payments.  Coach will try to keep your monthly payment small.  

The Trip Opens when the Trip Description & price is emailed to everyone on the list (after the bidding process completes).

Everyone on the list must confirm or drop (switch to Training Partner)

 You have 2 weeks to accept or drop 

If you have made any payments, they are refunded. Deposits ($100) are reassigned as your Training Partner fee.  

DROP FORM

REGISTRATION GETS YOU ON THE RIGHT TOUR LIST: The form collects necessary information for you and your 

spouse/hiking partner. 

1 form for each person PAYING.  

(EXAMPLE 1: John and Mary Doe use one form:  John is Name 1 (paying).  Mary is Name 2 on the same form)

(EXAMPLE 2:  Judy Jones & Sally Smith want to room together, both pay their own way.  Both must submit a form with the other listed as Roommate.)

(EXAMPLE 3: Bill Sims wants a roommate but doesn't have one.  Leave it blank, we will assign if possible.)

(EXAMPLE 4:  Jodi Brown wants no roommate.  Under Roommate put SINGLE.  (Note, S/O has a higher cost.))

After submitting the form 

You will redirect to Training Partner info.

This confirms your registration was sent.  If the trip is the current year you will begin to receive emails within two weeks - training emails go out to everyone on a training team a few days before each scheduled hike.   

TRAINING FEE IS WAIVED,

in 2022 for Grand Canyon trekkers,

and in 2023 for Scotland trekkers.

In other years not traveling you register and pay as a Training Partner.

Feel free to contact Thom (he keeps the lists) with questions or concerns.

Registration gets you on a candidate list of the seriously interested.

Your trip deposit sets the date and your position in the candidate queue.

Trip positions are offered starting with earliest registration dates.

CHECKS or *CASH

(*Cash must be in an envelope with your name, trip location) Hand to Coach Gunn or dropped in the Jogpot at a training hike.  (take a photo of check & email to Checks@CairnStoneTours.com)

Checks can also be mailed.

NOTE: Always fill check comment line to identify how check is to be recorded (which trip & year, training partner fee, names (not printed on the check), etc.)

ONLINE DEPOSITS & PAYMENTS

by Credit, Debit cards or PayPal

Available spots fill according to date of deposit.  We fill vacancies from a waiting list also by date of deposit.  

To remain in good standing you must be ready to fill a vacancy.  You must keep up your training and payments as if you are on the trip for sure.  

Coach Gunn's Guarantee

If you don't get off the waitlist and on the trip all payments are 100% refunded.  

($100 deposit is kept for a training fee.)

TRIP CANCELLATION INSURANCE

is very highly recommended to protect your investment.  Life happens; if the unexpected makes you miss the trip you are reimbursed in full. Insurance can do this, Coach Gunn can't as everything is paid in advance.

[SEE REFUND POLICY]

 Life is full of changes and the unexpected.

Use the Drop form (button below) to drop from a trip and initiate a refund request.  Refunds are time sensitive.

The form date will be used to calculate the amount that can be refunded.  

Your $100 deposit is a training fee.  Payments are refunded on a sliding scale (see REFUND POLICY). 

Note: Group travel requires deposits and progress payments for ground transportation, hotels and airlines much of which cannot be refunded to Coach Gunn.]
