Please see each retreat page for specific dates. If you cancel 45 days or more before the retreat, you will receive a refund minus a $450 cancellation fee. There are no refunds after that period. You may arrange to transfer your ticket to someone else (meaning you find someone else to buy your ticket from you and you arrange that transaction) up to 30 days prior to the retreat for a transfer fee of $250.

Please review the Wild Wonder Foundation COVID Policy.

Yes, we ask that you buy travel insurance to protect you if you have to cancel or leave early. Please review each retreat’s cancellation policy carefully. If you choose not to purchase travel insurance and need to cancel after the cancellation deadline, we will be unable to refund your ticket costs. This is due to the non-refundable expenses that the organization incurs while planning an event of this nature. We require participants to purchase travel insurance to ensure you are financially protected in the event of an unexpected cancellation. Thank you for your understanding.

We will provide registered participants with a high-level schedule approximately 2 weeks prior to the start of retreat. Note: because outdoor retreats can be subject to unpredictable weather and changing conditions, we are not able to offer a detailed hour-by-hour itinerary. Instead, we maintain a flexible, high-level schedule that allows us to adjust as needed in order to best accommodate the group and the environment. This flexibility helps us ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience, regardless of unforeseen circumstances.

No, we cannot provide refunds after the cancellation deadline.

Yes, we have a small number of partial scholarships for each retreat–click here for the application. Note: Retreats sell out quickly, and we hold a small number of spots for scholarships.

Fill out the Wild Wonder Retreats Wait List form if you are interested in attending a retreat but the tickets are sold out.

Retreats and other paid events enable Wild Wonder to offer many low-cost and free events each year. Retreat pricing reflects the costs of paying experienced instructors and support staff, high quality food and experienced catering staff, and ensuring a quality experience for all participants. In addition, a portion of each ticket price supports retreat scholarships.

If you cannot find the information you need in the retreat description or FAQs, please reach out to us at retreats@wildwonder.org, and we will respond as soon as possible, typically within 3 business days. Please note that we are a small team with limited staffing.
