We have our own expenses to cover the program and many of them have been paid in advance. Our expenses are not refundable. For this reason it is impossible to grant cancellation fees in case of cancellations for any reason. We expect all participants to purchase a cancellation insurance that will cover any cancellations in case of an emergency.
Participation in most of the activities is optional. Every participant joins only the activities that they like.
The only activities where participation is expected are the opening, the closing, feedback meetings and any group meetings. If you will not be able to join these activities, please discuss this with the program manager in advance.
We have made the program to be suitable for those who have work or studies too. Most full day activities are on the weekends so everybody can participate, while most of the shorter activities are flexible in time, and can be adjusted to the group needs.
Transport to all the activities is included, we might use different forms of transport, such as touring car or smaller vans, public transport, walking up to 3km at a time, and rental vans.
All transport to activities is included, so there is no need to get a rental car for this reason. We are close to Amsterdam with easy public transport access. Supermarkets and shops are nearby.
The majority of the activities in the program is suitable for children from about 5 years old. Please look at the detailed program and make your own consideration if your child would enjoy the activities and if your child is able to behave in an appropriate way during the activities. In particular consider if your child will enjoy bus rides up to 2 hours and if they can walk distances of up to 3km at a time.
Pets are allowed at the park for an extra fee. Please keep in mind that we will be out for long days and the pet should be able to be by itself.
For small families it is possible to share your cabin with another small family. In this case both will be charge the lower fee of a larger family. We can assist in finding another interested family.
Worldschooling Netherlands offers a 3-week program. We do not offer shorter stay options.
Our program is designed in a specific way with the goal to create a community where life lasting friendships are built. For this reason we advise all participants to join from the opening until the farewell party. Joining later will give you and your children a disadvantage in bonding with the other participants. Leaving early will make you miss some of the most valuable moments with the community. In case you will have to join later or leave early, please take this up with us in advance, to discuss the impact that this will have on you and the community.
Since all our events are aimed to build a community between the participants, we will not allow any short stay visits.
