Cancellation Policy
Participants may receive a refund – minus a $50 processing fee – if they cancel their registration at least fourteen (14) days before a program begins. Programs with registration fees below $50 are nonrefundable.
Refund requests must be made in writing. Written requests for a refund due to a medical emergency must include a doctor’s note, and must be received no more than two weeks after the program’s start date. Refunds due to medical emergencies will be paid minus the $50 processing fee.
If Maine Audubon cancels a program, participants will receive a full refund. In the event that Maine Audubon needs to cancel part of a multi-day program, such as camps, Maine Audubon will make an effort to reschedule that part of the program, but refunds will not be issued.
All program proceeds benefit the work of Maine Audubon.

Please note that we may close for only a portion of the day. If our buildings are open, unusually severe weather conditions can still force the cancellation of a program for that day.
