⚠️ Non-Refundable Deposit
The $200 USD deposit per person is strictly non-refundable under any circumstances, including cancellation by the participant.
| Cancellation Timing | Refund Amount |
|---|---|
| More than 8 weeks before camp start | Full balance refund (deposit non-refundable) |
| 4–8 weeks before camp start | 50% of balance refunded (deposit non-refundable) |
| Less than 4 weeks before camp start | No refund |
| No-show / early departure | No refund |
In the unlikely event that SOPA Global Camp cancels a program due to circumstances beyond our control (force majeure, natural disaster, government restrictions, etc.), participants will receive a full refund of all payments made, including the deposit. We will notify all registered participants as soon as possible via email.
SOPA Global Camp reserves the right to make reasonable changes to the program schedule, instructors, or activities due to operational requirements. Such changes do not constitute grounds for a refund. Significant changes that materially affect the program will be communicated to participants in advance.
All payments are processed via Payoneer. Any transaction fees, currency conversion costs, or bank charges incurred during payment or refund processing are the responsibility of the participant. Refunds will be issued in USD to the original payment method.
SOPA Global Camp is not responsible for travel costs, visa fees, or accommodation expenses outside the camp program. We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance that covers cancellation. Visa denial does not qualify for a refund of the non-refundable deposit.
To request a refund, please send an email to [email protected] with the subject line "Cancellation Request – [Your Name] – [Program Name]". Include your registration details and reason for cancellation. We will process eligible refunds within 14 business days.
By submitting an interest registration or making a deposit payment, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to this Refund Policy. For questions, contact [email protected].
