As a non profit, we aim to keep enrollment costs as low as possible while being able to fund our operation from year to year. As such, we can only offer limited refunds for customers in specific cases. Please read the policies below for more information and contact the Program Director at director@gbsa.info with any questions.

You may contact the Program Director to inquire about setting up a make-up day, but this is not guaranteed. REFUND DUE TO AN EMERGENCY: Please contact the GBSA Treasurer at treasurer@gbsa.info and explain the cause for cancellation. We will work with you to find a fair solution. CHANGING CLASSES: Whenever possible, we will accommodate class changes for your sailor. If we are unable to move your student into another class due to capacity reasons, and you therefore need to unenroll your sailor, we will process requests using the policies outlined above. CANCELLATIONS ON OUR BEHALF: If, for any reason, we need to cancel a class or reduce its capacity, we will notify you of this and will fully refund affected registrations starting May 15th in the order in which they were received (newest to oldest).
