Classes, Workshops and Summer Camp Reservation and Cancellation Policies
Registration: Students can reserve a place in class either by per-registering on-line, by phone or by mail. Space in our camps are limited and are offered on a first come first served basis. Note that your spot is NOT saved UNTIL you have paid in full. We suggest you reserve a seat as early as possible as class size is limited. If a class is full, you may request that your name be placed on a waiting list. Full payment must be made at time of registration. We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Checks and Cash.
If in the rare instance that a class does not have enough participants, The Photography Workshop will usually reschedule that class, or apply a credit to a future class.
Cancellations/Refunds: First, we would like to encourage you to simply move into another class or session if possible. However, we understand that things come up and you may need to cancel all together. To do so, please call or email us with this information.
• Registrations canceled 60-days or more prior to the beginning date of a camp, class or workshop are 75% refundable.
• Registration canceled 31 days to 59 days prior to the beginning date of the camp, class or workshop are 50% refundable.
• No refund will be given if canceling within 30-days of the start date of the camp, class or workshop.
If you wish have someone else come in your place, please call us to discuss. We can usually accommodate this in most cases, but not always.
Photographs/Video: The Photography Workshop reserves the right to use photographs and or videos taken during classes and other programs for the marketing and promotion of The Photography Workshop. Any person who does not wish to be photographed, video taped or otherwise recorded, or have his or her child photographed, video taped or otherwise recorded is asked to notify us upon registration. Your registration or participation in any class, camp or other Photography Workshop activity provides for and acknowledges your permission to use such photography and or video of you or your child for any Photography Workshop marketing activity without compensation or notice.
