OUR POLICIES

Class Cancellation/Refunds:

Kyle Shewfelt Gymnastics reserves the right to cancel any programs with insufficient registration one week prior to the program start date.

Cancellation or withdrawal of a registration prior to classes commencing will result in a $30.00 administration fee. Following commencement of the session, refunds in the form of an account credit are issued for medical reasons only (a medical certificate must be provided).

If you and/or your child are not completely satisfied after your first class, KSG will refund your full session tuition excluding your membership fee and a $30 administration fee. After your first class, Kyle Shewfelt Gymnastics maintains a NO REFUND policy on all of our fees in order to ensure proper safety and staffing for our classes and events.

GOLD MEDAL Memberships are non-refundable.

Camp Refund/Cancellation Policy:

Once you are registered, we hope that nothing interferes with your child coming to Kyle Shewfelt Gymnastics. However, if you must cancel your child’s registration, please be aware of our cancellation policy:

Refunds are subject to a $30 non-refundable administration fee and will be given according to the following schedule:

If requested at least one month before the first day of camp, you will receive a full refund (less the administration fee).
If requested between one month and two weeks before the first day of camp, you will receive a 50% refund (less the administration fee).
If requested less than two weeks before the first day of camp, we will be able to issue a 50% refund by in house credit only.

Every year, unfortunately, children are turned away from our camps due to lack of available room. The more notice we have of cancellation, the better our ability to fill that space with another interested child. If your child is ill or, for any reason, misses one or more days of camp, we will not be able to provide a partial refund.

Personal Property:

Kyle Shewfelt Gymnastics is NOT responsible for lost or stolen property in or around our premises, including the gym floor, the observation area, or your vehicle. We accept no responsibility for articles left behind. Kyle Shewfelt Gymnastics personnel are not allowed to accept responsibility for personal articles.
