Cancellation Policy

Mill River Folk School Cancellations

Each workshop must have a minimum number of students to be held. If the Mill River Folk School finds it necessary to cancel a workshop, we will notify students two weeks prior to the scheduled workshop start date.

A full refund will be provided to registered students. Refunds for a workshop purchased as a gift will be to the purchaser only. The Mill River Folk School cannot be held responsible for any refunds for travel or lodging expenses incurred because of a cancellation. Please consider acquiring travel insurance when booking travel reservations.

Student Cancellation Policy

In recognition of the time and energy instructors invest in preparing for their courses, and to ensure all participants get the best workshop experience, we run our courses in small groups. The goal of our policy is to be fair and flexible for our workshop participants.  Cancellations must be made at least 14 days prior to the start of a workshop to receive a refund. Registration and material costs will be refunded, minus a $30 registration fee.  No refunds or credits will be given if a student withdraws for any reason after a workshop begins.

Health & Safety

Each workshop has its own safety precautions. Your instructor will review the specific safety requirements at the start of your workshop and throughout your course. The Mill River Folk School is a rural setting. When visiting the area please take appropriate care and wear comfortable, workshop appropriate clothing, secure shoes and consider your personal needs for a day, or extended stay. Ticks are prevalent in the area, please use non-toxic bug spray.
