Deposits, Refunds, Withdrawals, & Cancellations

Tuitions vary according to our costs and the length of the course. You will find the tuition amount(s) on our course pages.

We ask that you deposit $500 for each one-week course, and $800 for each two-week course upon registration through our online system. The balance due must be paid one month before class begins. Your deposit, less a $100 fee per course, will be refunded in the event that you must cancel and do so at least one month prior to the beginning of the course. If you need to cancel your reservation within 3 business days of registering for a course, please call us at 207-359-4651.

If your notice of cancellation is received between 15 and 30 days prior to the course, your tuition is not refundable, but can be credited toward future courses later in the same season. If you must cancel less than 15 days before the course, we cannot refund or credit your money.

In case of emergency or insufficient number of registrations, WoodenBoat School reserves the right to cancel a course and return all deposit money.

Because of this policy, we strongly urge you to buy refundable airline tickets or flight insurance. WoodenBoat School will not be responsible for any loss on nonrefundable airline tickets.
