MINIMUM CONTRACTED COST

Based upon the Minimum Guaranteed number of participants the Contracted Organization is responsible should attendance be less than the contracted number, regardless of the number of actual attendees.  Prior to your arrival, we will ask for a confirmed number of guests. Should your event have fewer participants in attendance, your final invoice will reflect either the confirmed number or the guaranteed minimum stated in this contract, whichever is greater. 

INCLEMENT WEATHER

In case inclement weather prevents the contracted program from being executed as scheduled, the following remedies will be applied:

1. New dates within the same calendar year for an identical program will be sought by both parties, and the contract will be amended to reflect the updated dates for a program at Cal-Wood.

2. If no dates for rescheduling the program are mutually agreed to, the contracted organization will have a choice between the following options:

   1. Maintain a credit for all monies paid and apply them toward a future event at Cal-Wood during the next calendar year.

   2. Receive a refund for all monies paid, less retreat deposit.

3. If neither remedy is executed, the deposit will be forfeited.

4.    Cal-Wood is not responsible for any collateral costs incurred by Contracting Organization due to cancellation for inclement weather.

FINAL BILLING

All events will be invoiced upon completion of the stay at Cal-Wood and are immediately due and payable, unless other arrangements or terms are agreed upon in advance. Payments can be made by check or credit card. Late payments (in excess of 30 days) will be assessed a late fee of 1.5% finance charge per month.

STAFF INSURANCE CERTIFICATE

Youth organizations that provide their own facilitators and/or instructors must provide a written certificate of insurance for these instructors prior to their arrival. 

ASSUMPTION OF RISK

CAL-WOOD is not contracting with the individual members of the contracting organization and therefore requires that the contracting organization notify its members of the following:

“Each individual is voluntarily participating at an activity at CAL-WOOD Education Center, and accepts that there are inherent risks associated with outdoor activities in remote areas at high elevations.  These hazards may include, but are not limited to, activities related to traditional outdoor pursuits such as hiking, organized recreation, team building and outdoor skills. Each individual or his/her guardian assumes the risks of these or similar hazards, and should be covered by either individual medical insurance or by group accident insurance purchased through the sponsoring organization.”

ADA

As a public facility, CAL-WOOD is committed to complying with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Please notify us as soon as possible if any members require assistance during their stay. Our buildings are handicap-accessible.

Alcohol Consumption

All participants must be of legal age (21+) to consume alcohol. Alcohol may not be consumed around other Cal-Wood clientele. The lodge is available to host events where alcohol may be present. Alcoholic beverage containers must not be thrown away in any garbage receptacles. These containers must go directly into the recycling area behind the kitchen. The campfire area may host events where alcohol is present. There are to be no glass containers at the campfire area. Finally, all guests that choose to consume alcohol must behave in a controlled, respectful manner while at Cal-Wood.

Open Flame

Cal-Wood strictly enforces open flame occurring in designated areas; fireplaces and firepits. Candles are not to be lit by guests indoors. If Cal-Wood is not under a fire restriction, guests may enjoy a campfire at Cal-Wood. The fire should never be higher than 3 feet and must be controlled and contained within the designated area. The guest is responsible for completely extinguishing the fire with water. We recommend 10 buckets of water per fire. To assure the fire is out and there is no smolder or cinder, stir the ash slurry and feel for rising heat. If no heat and no smoke, the fire has been successfully extinguished.
