For most workshops, the final balance
is due and payable 45 days before your departure date. If
we have not heard from you by that date we reserve the right
to charge the balance to your credit card. If you are paying
by check be sure to send it before the deadline or your reservation
will be subject to cancellation. For wait-listed workshops
we also reserve the right to request payment in full 90 days
prior to the workshop start date. For rafting workshops, the balance is due 125 days before the workshop begins.

There are NO EXCEPTIONS
TO THIS POLICY, even for medical emergencies. All cancellation
requests must be in writing and received either by US mail
or by fax. E-mail is not acceptable. We encourage participants
to purchase refundable airline tickets and trip cancellation
insurance. We recommend Travelex, (www.travelexinsurance.com)
and their brochure will be sent to registered participants
with other confirmation materials.
Should Friends cancel
a scheduled workshop, you will have the choice of receiving
a full refund or of transferring to another workshop that
has space available. We are not, however, liable for expenses
incurred such as airfare or accommodations, and for this reason
also recommend the purchase of trip insurance.
Changes to the
Itinerary
In order to offer
you the finest experience possible, Friends of Arizona Highways
reserves the right to make changes to the published itinerary
whenever, in our judgment, conditions warrant it. Depending
on the workshop, we may make changes to counter the effects
of impassable roads, variable weather, flower or fall color
conditions, or water levels of the lakes and rivers we propose
to visit. Most changes are made to incorporate unexpected
and exciting photographic opportunities, and are always intended
to make your experience with us the best possible.
Health and Physical
Considerations
Most workshops are not considered strenuous,
however participants should be able to walk or climb to workshop
locations in areas where there are no dedicated paths, and
must be able to carry their own equipment. If you currently
have, or have had in the past, any physical condition or required
medications please note them on the health questionnaire you
will receive. It is extremely important for the escort and
photographer to be aware of any health condition before the
workshop begins. If you have any concerns about your ability
to participate on a particular workshop, please call our office
before reserving a space.
How can I get on your list for future workshops?
Feel free to contact us at any time regarding our future workshops. A preliminary schedule of our 3 or longer day trips is generally available by late August to early September, for personal use only. Weekend workshops are updated several times a year on our website.
We maintain an “Interest List” for upcoming classes, so let us know if you cannot attend a workshop this year but would like to in the coming year, if you hear about a workshop we are planning, or wish to recommend a workshop location. You will be notified when we are ready to take reservations and asked to confirm your enrollment with a deposit.
We do not take standing reservations for particular photographers’ workshops.
