Payment Options
Upon email confirmation from us a minimum of $100 deposit is due. There is a lot of info below, but don’t worry – you will receive a detailed email with the amount due prior to payment. As part of your payment there is a $50 non-refundable deposit.*
*Waived if programming is affected by the COVID-19 Pandemic – full refunds/credits will be issued.
We accept e-transfers (to fsforestschool@gmail.com), post-dated cheques, and cash. Please wait until you have received a confirmation email prior to paying.
As we are a not-for-profit organization, you pay NO TAX – what you see is what you pay based on a sliding scale of $55-70/day for the year.
Payment Plan
You choose the best payment plan for your family – upfront or monthly. You will indicate your preference during registration.
Financial Assistance
It is our hope to provide access for all children to our programs and thanks to some generous contributions and local business sponsorships, we can help make it work for you. If finances are a barrier to participation, please click here for some options.
Waitlist
In the past we’ve had a waitlist for some of our programming days. When a spot becomes available (or we add a new teacher due to demand) we will reach out to the next eligible family.
Here is our pricing for our Additional Outdoor Programming for 2021-22:
Cancellation Policy
All of our programs are created and staff hired based on enrollment. We invest a lot in our programs before they begin and often these expenses cannot be recovered due to cancellation. When considering a cancellation, please be aware of this and respectful of our policies – find out more in our Parent Handbook.
Refund Policy
A full refund (less $50 non-refundable deposit) will be issued for any cancellation made up to 2 weeks prior to the trimester. Please refer to our Parent Handbook for detailed policies concerning refunds.
Program Cancellation
FSFNS reserves the right to cancel schools/camps that have low registration (or in the interest of Public Health concerns like COVID-19). In this event, a credit or full refund will be provided.
