Payment Policy

Deposit:

The deposit of $100/participant is due 90 days from your arrival date, an invoice will be sent as early as we have your initial numbers. This deposit is not refundable. The deposit will be applied to your final payment. The per person deposit increases to 50% of the participant fees once your enter 60 days from your service and learning trip.

Remainder of Payment:

The remainder of the payment for each participant is due 30 days prior to your arrival. An invoice will be sent immediately after we receive your deposit. Again, we can always add people at this time if there is space still in your dates.

Withdrawal & Transfer Policy

We understand that sometimes people may need to drop from your group for various reasons. You may replace that spot with anyone else, just let us know who is dropping and who is replacing them. It is absolutely no problem to transfer payment among participants.

Then Mending Wings/SLAM staff invests a great deal into offering community based, locally led SLAM Trips that allow your group to participate in Yakama culture, but also invite you into relationship built around learning and mutual respect. We plan and prepare for these trips months in advance by hiring staff and reserving spaces for sleeping, eating, showering, and cultural activities.

If you need to cancel your trip, we kindly ask that you do so via email. The date on the email is what we will use to determine the amount of refund owed. We do not refund any of the non-refundable deposit fees. If you have paid for the remainder of your fees before 30-60 days prior to your arrival, we will refund you 50% of that fee ($225). There will be no refunds within 30 days of the trip. If there is an extreme circumstance, please call us and we will talk about what can be done to work with you. Also please remember, you may replace participants with other participants if needed.

If you have a change in numbers between paying the deposit and the final payment due, please contact us so that we can get that taken care of.
