Homeschool Day FAQ’s

If my child is 5 y/o can they go in the 6-7 age group?

Please re-read the question out loud. 😉

Unfortunately, they’ll have to wait for next year! We have age limits set for safety reasons and educational purposes. However, if you are registering other children, you may bring the 5 and under children with you. We have an awesome playground and they’ll love watching their siblings, whetting their appetite for next year!

When is payment due? What is cancelation and refund policy for homeschool days?

Payment is due at time of registration. Payments are non-refundable if cancelled less than 48 hours before the event. If someone on the waitlist takes your place money can then be refunded.

Registration is full, do you have a waiting list?

Yes. If registration is full you will be contacted and put on the wait list. If it does not work out for you to attend, you will receive a full refund.

Will I need to stay with my child(ren)?

Yes. Parents/Guardians must remain on the Refreshing Mountain grounds throughout the day. A chaperone schedule will be given upon arrival.

Is lunch provided? Can we bring our own meal?

Lunch is NOT provided for this event. There are picnic tables and pavilion space for you to eat your bag lunch. The cafe may be opened for light food items, drinks, snacks, and souvenirs if you would like to purchase some items.

Is parking at Refreshing Mountain free?

Yes, there is no cost for parking and we have ample space for buses as well as passenger vehicles.

What if there is bad weather?

This is a “light rain or shine event”. We will cancel if there is a storm or other severe weather. If Refreshing Mountain cancels any part of your event for a safety-related reason, you will receive a FULL REFUND.

Can you accomodate guest with special needs?

Yes, our activities are designed to include a broad range of physical and mental abilities. We don’t want to exclude anyone. At the same time, there are aspects of our topography and certain safety requirements of some of our elements that can pose a challenge to guests with limited mobility and/or over 250 lbs. We do have options that can be explored for special accommodation and we welcome a conversation about any particular needs your guests may have. Please give us a call at 717-738-1490.

Is there a release form required?

Yes, every participant must sign a Release Form. If the participant is under age 18, a parent/guardian MUST sign the form. A Release Form will be sent with your confirmation email and you should bring them along on the day of the event.

Signed Release Forms must be received before you may participate.
