Notification must
be received at least 16 days before the
first day of the seminar if you cancel
and wish to receive a refund (minus a
$10 processing fee for each person registered)
or a full credit toward another seminar
(good for one year). NO refunds, transfers
or credits will be issued on cancellations
made less than 16 days in advance. You
may arrange for someone to attend in your
place if you wish, but we need to know
the names of these participants before
the seminar begins. In the event that
Point Reyes Field Seminars cancels a program,
we will issue a full refund or credit.

If indicated in
the course description, accommodations
may be included at either the Clem Miller
Environmental Education Center or the
Historic Lifeboat Station. Sleeping arrangements
are dormitory style with bunk beds in
several rooms or cabins. Participants
bring their own sleeping bag, towel and
personal toiletries and food for breakfasts
and lunches. Evening meals are potluck.
Since we have no janitorial staff, each
group staying at a facility is expected
to clean up at the end of the seminar,
readying it for the next group. As at
a hostel, each person is expected to do
a chore (sweeping, mopping, putting away
chairs or tables, etc.) before leaving.
When everyone chips in, the whole process
usually takes about an hour, and is coordinated
by the weekend facilitator. This enables
us to keep our overhead down and offer
classes with accommodations included at
a very reasonable price.
Overnight accommodation
is included for paid registrants only.
You may make other accommodation arrangements
if you wish, but we cannot reduce the
seminar fee. Before registering, please
read Cancellation Policy above. Click
here
for more accommodation options. We invite
and encourage you to stay with one of
our Business
Sponsors.

Some of our offerings
are wheelchair accessible. Many of our
seminars, however, involve field study
on trails which may not accommodate a
wheelchair or a person with a walking
difficulty. Most of our facilities are
wheelchair accessible, but the second
floor of the Historic Lifeboat Station
is not. Please call us to inquire about
each seminar and your particular situation
at (415) 663-1200. We can often make special
arrangements or inquire with the instructor
as to the level of difficulty or accessibility.

Most of our seminars
are geared to adults, although we offer
a number of family
seminars for children (accompanied
by an adult.) Exceptions to this rule
are made on an individual basis, according
to the type of seminar and the instructor’s
wishes. Anyone under the age of 18 allowed
in an adult seminar must be accompanied
by a paying, attending adult. Prior approval
is necessary. Please call our office to
inquire (415) 663-1200.

this.
