SLACKPACKING THE APPALACHIAN TRAIL IN GEORGA
Deposit & Payments:
The deposit is $300 USD for all slackpacking.
The total trip balance is due 60 days prior to day 1 of the slackpacking trips.
The total slackpacking trip price includes the deposit and taxes.
If payment in full has not been received by the due date, the outstanding balance will be charged directly to the payment method on file from the deposit, unless otherwise instructed. If final payment cannot be processed within 5 days of the payment deadline, Above the Clouds Hostel reserves the right to treat your slackpacking trip as canceled and the deposit and any other payments will be forfeited.
Cancellation Policies:
If seeking a refund, please contact Above the Clouds Hostel by email at atchostel@gmail.com. Cancellation date is the date the written notice is received by Above the Clouds Hostel. Cancellation charges are not meant to be punitive. These charges reflect the expenses Above the Clouds Hostel has incurred in administering your reservation and planning for your participation, and cannot be recovered if you cancel, even if you must do so because of injury/illness or personal emergencies.
In the unfortunate event that you must cancel your trip in the days prior to departure, your cancellation fee will be determined according to the terms outlined in the chart below:
| Domestic (U.S.) | Cancellation Fee |
| 60+ days | Trip Deposit* |
| 60 – 30 days | 50% of trip cost** |
| 29 days or less | 100% of trip cost, no refund |
*Your deposit is fully refundable for the 10 days immediately following your deposit payment. If you cancel after that time and prior to the final payment deadline, the deposit will become a credit that can be applied towards a new booking within 3 years of cancellation.
**If you register after this time, the deposit is non-refundable and the entire amount is due within no more than five days of registration.
Slackpacking trips are rain or shine.
