Full payment is due 60 days prior to the course start date. If reservations are made less than 60 days in advance, full payment is due immediately. Payment can be made by personal check or cashier's check. Your cashed check is proof of payment. A confirmation email will be sent upon receipt of payment. Please let us know if you need an additional receipt. Make your check out to "CRROBS" and send it to:

If you are a participant enrolled in a custom/group (contract) course, please send your check directly to your group leader. Also, all participants from outside the United States must have their check written in USD and cleared through a US bank.

Payment can also be made by credit card or wire transfer.

Financial Aid
Financial assistance is available for participants that demonstrate financial need and deserve assistance. There are a limited number of scholarships available, so it is necessary to apply early. Scholarships are available for specific courses and they cover a portion of tuition and fees. Fax, email, or write CRROBS for a financial aid application – be sure to include an email address.

Cancellation and Refund Policy
If you cancel before your course start date, the following schedule applies:

60+days prior: All tuition/fees paid are refundable less a $60 application-processing fee per person per individual course that is transferable to another CRROBS course within one year of the cancelled course start date.

30-59 days: All tuition/fees paid are refundable less the $200 deposit ($500 for semester students) per person per individual course that is transferable to another CRROBS course within one year of the cancelled course start date.

Less than 30 days: All tuition/fees paid are non-refundable but are transferable to another CRROBS course within one year of the cancelled course start date.

CRROBS reserves the right to cancel any scheduled course up to 31 days prior to the course starting date. This would normally be done for reasons of low participation or certain programming factors. This decision would be announced no less than 31 days prior to the course starting date and participants would be advised either via telephone or email. In this case, participants would be allowed to apply their tuition towards any other CRROBS course within one calendar year or receive a full cash refund. CRROBS will not be financially responsible for reimbursing any pre-arranged travel costs.

Expulsion and Voluntary Withdrawal
CRROBS runs quality courses designed to allow participants maximum enjoyment of the beautiful tropical environment in which we travel. We reserve the right to expel/remove participants who present a danger to him/herself, the environment, or other participants. Outward Bound is not a reformatory school and our staff members are not police officers. Participants who are expelled from the course or voluntarily leave the course for personal reasons do not receive a refund and are responsible for evacuation fees. However, for students with a legitimate medical / emotional situation a pro-rated course credit is granted and applicable within one year of the course start date to a CRROBS course with space availability.
