Weather & Cancellation Policy
Lessons will be held in light rain. Lessons will be cancelled due to heavy rain, extreme wind, thunderstorms and/or lightning, other severe weather or if the ground is too wet to work in.
If lessons are cancelled for any reason, including severe weather, students will be given a credit for the next session. In the event that classes are cancelled, students will be notified via text message.
If the lesson ends due to bad weather but at least half of the lesson is completed, this is still considered a complete lesson.
