How to make a Youth Group Reservation?
Northeast Whitewater has entertained many groups, so we are sensitive to your fundraising and organizational needs. We understand that it takes time to put an exceptional trip together. However, we are limited to the number of rafters that we can take each day. For this reason, you need to plan early. The steps for making a group reservation are outlined below and will help to make your reservation easy.
- Call us to receive any additional information about our trips. Our office staff is extremely helpful!
2. Have preliminary meeting to gauge the group’s interest in our trips. Set a deadline for deposit or full payment.
3. Hold second meeting to collect deposit or full payment from each participant. Collecting the full payment eliminates additional work for you. Once we have received your payment in full, we will send your trip confirmation with all necessary forms and trip specific information.
4. Make the reservation for those who have paid you only. Call or go online to your group reservation that we have created for you to add additional participants or as you receive payment (if space is still available).
In order to receive discount pricing, all payments must be made with one check or credit card. A 50% deposit is required to make a reservation and the balance is due 30 days prior to the trip or program.
