To Apply to the Earth Skills Semester, Spring Expedition and Winter Programs

• Print and fill-out the Registration Form, Acknowledgement of Risk Form and Liability Release Form. You can also Apply Online. The minimum age for these programs is 18.
• Mail the completed forms, essay, and references, with a deposit of $500 in the form of a check or money order made out to Jack Mountain Bushcraft, LLC, to our NH headquarters.
• We review applications in the order we receive them. You'll be notified when we review yours.
• If the course to which you're applying is full when we receive your application, we will place you on the waiting list and give you the option of applying to a future course. We can either refund your deposit or apply it to a future course - your choice.
• The balance of the tuition must be paid 30 days in advance of the program starting date.
• About the Essay - Please keep in mind that you're not applying to a doctorate program in English composition or creative writing. But since the possibility of us meeting in person before the course is low, we ask you to write a short essay in order to get to know a little bit about you. We don't use it as a basis for admission decisions. We only use it to get a feel for who you are and where you're coming from. So if you're the type who stresses about things like this, don't. Sit down with a piece of paper and write like you're introducing yourself to a friend of a friend.
• Questions about course availablitiy, problems printing the registration form, or anything else? Give us a call.

Rates, Fees and Tuition

Our rates for scheduled courses and trips are listed on the calendar. For private trips, contact us for rates. For private courses at our base, our rates for three or fewer people are $300 per day. Each additional person thereafter is $100 per day. For example:

• Private Workshop - 1 person per day = $300.00
• Private Workshop - 2 people per day = $300.00
• Private Workshop - 3 people per day = $300.00
• Private Workshop - 4 people per day = $400.00
• Private Workshop - 5 people per day = $500.00

Minimum Enrollment

If a minimum enrollment (usually 4) is not met by the application deadline, those signed up have two options. The program can be run with below minimum enrollment, but with an increase in tuition (to meet the minimum enrollment level), or the program may be cancelled and the full tuition (including the deposit) will be refunded.

Methods of Payment Accepted

We accept checks, money orders, cash and credit cards via PayPal. If you want to pay with a credit card let us know and once we receive your application we'll contact you with the details on this.

Deposits

For non-long term courses and trips, please send a deposit of 1/2 of the program tuition to hold your spot. The balance is due in full 30 days before the start of the program. For the Earth Skills Summer, Winter and Semester Programs, please send a deposit of $500. Deposits are non-refundable except when courses are already full, in which case we'll refund your deposit or credit it to a future course - your choice.

Cancellations and Refund Policy

With cancellations more than 60 days in advance of the course or trip, the tuition, less the deposit, will be refunded. With cancellations less than 60 days prior to the start of the course all monies are non-refundable and non-transferable. These policies reflect the fact that we do not overbook, cancelled spaces are very difficult to fill at the last minute, and that the vast majority of costs are incurred in preparing for a course/trip. If a program is cancelled by us for any reason, the full tuition (including the deposit) will be refunded.

Travel and Tuition Insurance

Adventure travel and wilderness education are not inexpensive, and anything can happen when we're in the bush. We recommend that all participants have medical insurance. We also recommend you protect your investment with travel insurance for trips and tuition insurance for courses.
