Minimum Enrollment & Retreat Confirmation

In the unlikely event that minimum enrollment is not met, Sky Mountain Adventures reserves the right to cancel the retreat. Guests will receive a full refund of all payments made to Sky Mountain Adventures, including their deposit.
We strongly recommend waiting until your retreat has been officially confirmed before purchasing flights or making other nonrefundable travel arrangements. If booking earlier, we recommend purchasing fully refundable airfare.

Travel insurance coverage varies by policy and may not include cancellations due to insufficient enrollment. Guests are responsible for confirming their coverage directly with their insurance provider.
Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is required for this retreat. Your policy must cover the retreats hiking activities and include emergency medical expenses, evacuation, and mountain search and rescue.
We recommend IMG’s iTravelInsured LX through our travel insurance partner, DiscoverWell. Please arrange coverage promptly after your first trip payment or deposit, ideally within 10 days. Early purchase within the required window may help you qualify for a pre-existing medical condition exclusion waiver and optional Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) coverage. CFAR costs extra and provides partial reimbursement for cancellations not otherwise covered by the policy.
For help reviewing coverage and confirming applicable purchase deadlines, contact Jennifer Paaske at travel@discoverwell.world. When requesting your quote, include your zip code, DOB, full travel dates and your total prepaid, nonrefundable trip costs, including the retreat, non-refundable flights, and additional non-refundable accommodations. Eligibility, deadlines, and benefits depend on your policy and state of residence.
