    24+ hour advance notice is required for cancellations. Sales are final within 24 hours of the booking, and no refunds will be given at that time.

    FAQs

    What is the schedule for the workshop and tour?
    Arrive at the activity center 15 minutes before start time. The itinerary includes a 60-minute workshop in the upstairs conference room, a 15-minute break to prep for the SUSV trip (then meet back at the activity center), and a 5-hour aurora viewing experience.

    What camera gear should I bring?
    Bring a smartphone or DSLR/mirrorless camera, extra batteries, and a tripod. Gloves that allow easy camera use are recommended.

    Is there an age requirement?
    This experience is for ages 16+.

    What is the cancellation policy?
    Cancellations require 24+ hours’ advance notice. Within 24 hours of the booking, sales are final and no refunds are given.

    What happens if the Northern Lights aren’t visible?
    Aurora activity can’t be guaranteed. If the Northern Lights aren’t visible during your workshop time, the class will still proceed as scheduled and focus on night-sky photography (including stars, landscapes, and low-light scenes). No refunds or rescheduling are issued due to lack of aurora activity.
