Refund Policy
If we have learned anything from the last 17 months, it is that nothing is certain. In March 2020, when our 2020 Choir Tour was cancelled due to travel restrictions, our travel agency worked very hard to secure as large a refund as possible from the various vendors. In the end, the Nebo School District covered over $100,000 to purchase all our flight credits, pay the remaining vendors, and return a 100% refund to all tour participants.
Student-Initiated Cancellation
In the event a student is unable to participate go on tour as planned, the following refund dates:
-August 18, 2021 – December 1, 2021: Full refund available upon cancellation
-December 2, 2021 – February 2, 2022: Refund all but $100 (May be held for future tours)
-After February 2, 2022: No refunds available (Cannot be held for future tours, may be used as scholarship money for other students)
Tour Cancellation
In the event a tour is cancelled due to forces beyond anyone's control (weather event, pandemic, act of God, etc), students will be refunded flight credits (not cash value as was done in 2020) as well as ALL BUT $100 of the remaining cash value of the tour. The $100 per participant will cover the costs of the travel agency and all other non-refundable costs from vendors.

Fundraising Opportunities
During the Fall, there will be at least 2 opportunities to raise money for tour. These will include a mattress fundraiser and cookie dough. While participation is optional, students have succeeded in making a lot of money on these fundraisers in the past.

There will be a minimum of 1 adult chaperone per 8 student participants. Students will be protected and taken care of during the tour. Students will never be permitted to be alone and must check-in with chaperones often--especially at night, travelling on the subway, or spending time in unfamiliar neighborhoods.
