7. Changes to Itinerary:
a. Nome Schoolhouse reserves the right to make modifications to the retreat or class itinerary, including activity schedules, instructors, and accommodations if necessary. We will make reasonable efforts to inform participants of any such changes.

We recommend purchasing trip insurance in case you may be unable to attend.
- We cannot be responsible for issuing refunds, credits, or transfers for classes missed due to illness, emergencies, or events beyond our control. If we cancel a workshop, all funds will be promptly refunded.
- In the event of Nome Schoolhouse canceling the workshop for any reason, students will receive a 100% refund, which represents our full responsibility.
- If the originally scheduled guest teacher is unable to attend for any reason, we reserve the right to cancel the workshop or reschedule with another teacher.
- Please send student cancellations via email to [email protected].
