Terms & Conditions

REGISTRATION IS CONTINGENT UPON RECEIPT OF PAYMENT AND ALL REQUIRED FORMS BEFORE CLASS BEGINS

Payor will be taken to required forms immediately after payment is processed.  Required forms are also also accessible on the Student Portal page of this website.

SAFETY

Payor and Participant understand that violating safety regulations or failure to comply with instructions of the instructors, staff, or assistants may result in harm or injury to the Participant or others and may be grounds for dismissal from class. Participant agrees to practice safe boating at all times and to wear a life vest whenever on or near the water.

INCLEMENT WEATHER

Payor and Participant understand that the weather on Deep Creek Lake can change quickly, and as long as the conditions are safe, Participants should plan to sail, even if it’s cold or raining.

Payor and Participant further understand that, while the instructors will cover all classroom material, on-the-water instruction time may be reduced due to wind or other weather conditions.
