PISCATAWAY CREEK CONFIRMATION

Dear Paddler,

We are delighted you will be joining us for sea kayaking at Piscataway Creek! This confirmation package includes general information, directions to the trip launch site, a checklist of what to bring, a medical information form, and a release.

We provide kayaks, paddles, life jackets, and safety equipment. Please print out, read, and complete the release and medical information forms. It will save time if you bring the completed forms with you the day of the trip. Please do not e-mail or fax these forms back to us. Simply bring them with you to the trip. We have extras on hand at each trip location in case you forget to bring them with you.


CANCELLATION POLICY

If you must cancel a tour or class, please notify us 5 days in advance, and we will offer you a 100% credit toward any future trip. We do not issue refunds under any circumstances. Cancellation for any reason without 5 days' notice will forfeit your entire trip fee, and you will have to pay to reschedule that class or tour.

All trips are rain or shine. Should any severe water or weather conditions occur which produce unsafe conditions, we reserve the right to delay, postpone, substitute or cancel a trip as a matter of safety for our guests and guides We will make the final call whether to cancel for safety reasons on site at the time the event is scheduled to begin. We have found that many storms pass through very quickly, and some of the most beautiful paddling is just after a storm. And how many times has the forecast been wrong?

If Atlantic Kayak Company must cancel a class or tour for any reason, we will give you full credit toward any future tour or class. Again, we do not issue refunds under any circumstances.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for your cooperation and understanding.

If you have any questions or comments, please give us a call. We hope you enjoy sea kayaking, and thank you for joining us!
