If you are not traveling with us but want to join in the local hikes and training, you participate as a Training Partner.  You will have access to all the lectures, hikes, training material and coaching that our travel team enjoys.  

The training schedule and hikes are designed to meet the specific needs of the destination each year.  This is usually more than adequate for anyone looking to hike in other destinations.  And some just love to hike and keep fit.

(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.)

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.]
