COVID-19 Statement and Cancellation and Booking Policy
COVID-19 STATEMENT
Due to COVID-19, we have made some adjustments to how we conduct Maine Photography Outdoor Workshops.
As one of the few outdoor photography group workshops that took place across the country in 2020, we have developed what we consider to be best practices to ensure everyone remains healthy.
First, we are now offering both shared cabins at a discount (for those traveling together), as well as single occupancy cabins at the regular rate (for those traveling solo).
Social distancing and wearing of facemasks are required in all group settings unless participants are in their own cabin, personal vehicle, or on the water in an individual kayak.
Breakfast and lunch meals are packed individually by the restaurant staff, with the dinner meal served on the balcony allowing everyone plenty of room to spread out.
Also, unlike previous to COVID, each participant agrees to travel to and from shooting locations in their own vehicle.
Given our commitment to keep both participants and our community safe, we fully expect that these practices will be in place for 2021 workshops and may be amended to include newly issued State of Maine mandates such as pre-testing prior to traveling to Maine.
Finally, should the virus interrupt participants travel plans, we will gladly allow you to postpone participation for up to one year without loss of any registration fees.
