Costs

For all students the Cross Canada Tour registration cost is $2,850 if paid in full at registration. Or, if you choose, you can make three equal payments of $1,000. The installments would be due now, December and March.

If paying in installments:

• Payment one is due at registration
• payment two is due by December 15th
• Payment 3 is due by March 15th.

As well there is a $225 fee (which is paid by your host club in Canada). That fee ($225) supports the costs associated with organizing the tour and the cost related to the chaperones who travel.

In addition students will need to budget $300 – 400 for meals not provided by the tour in the registration fee and incidentals and shopping.  

All cheques or money orders should be payable to Rotary Cross Canada Tour

Penalties for Dropping Out

Each year one or two students either drop out of the trip or are removed from the tour because of behaviour issues. If that is the case, the following penalties will be charged against monies paid.

Dropped before December 1st

There is a $500 non-refundable deposit.

Dropped before February 1st

$750.00 penalty plus any direct costs which are not recoverable. i.e. Air tickets, Theatre tickets, stampede tickets or prepaid hostel beds for which there may be a cancellation charge. Full Refund to Rotary Club.

Dropped before March 15th

$1,000.00 penalty plus direct costs as above. 50% Refund to Rotary Club.

Dropped before April 15th

$1,250.00 penalty plus direct costs as above. 50% refund to Rotary Club.

Dropped after April 30th

No refunds will be provided.

Students dropping out of the tour (or being withdrawn for behaviour reasons) create a great deal of additional work for the volunteer organizers. By late April/early May the entire tour is “prepaid”, with the exception of meal funds disbursements which will be refunded to the students.
