Cancellation Policy
Goldmine Quarter Horse's cancellation and refund policy is as follows, with dates based on when GQH receives cancellation notice in writing:
Date Cancellation Notice Received / Refund or Credit
-
More than 6 weeks before camp start date: Camp fee less $100
-
Between 2 and 6 weeks before camp start date: 50% of camp fee.
-
Less than 2 weeks before start of camp: No refund.

If for any reason Goldmine Quarter Horses cancels a camp (e.g. COVID restrictions, natural disaster, etc.), we will provide 100% credit.
-
Transfers to other dates may be made, at least four weeks in advance. After this period of time, it will be considered a cancellation. A physician’s note, verifying an illness, less than two weeks prior to the start date may result in a credit. Refunds are not given for those who leave once a camp has started.
Medical Policy
Contacting Parents
If a child requires urgent medical attention, parents must be contacted. If we are unable to reach them, we will leave a detailed message if possible and then try to contact the alternate emergency contact.
Parents will also be contacted under any of the following circumstances:
-
Camper needs to be taken to the hospital or clinic
-
Potential head or spinal injuries
-
Vomiting or diarrhea for the camper occurs more than once
-
The camper has lice
-
The parents have requested to be contacted for specific items.
Seeking Medical Support
Determining when to seek additional support can be a very subjective decision for the nurse or first aid attendant, and it will depend largely upon the individual’s experience and training. The rule of thumb is that when there is any doubt in the mind of the nurse as to injury or treatment, the camper should be sent to a clinic or to emergency.
Obvious concerns that would cause automatic sending would include:
-
Any compromise or potential compromise to ABC (airway, breathing, or circulation)
-
Any wound not treatable with simple first aid
-
Any allergic reaction not responding to minor treatment
-
Any potential sprain or break
-
Any infection
-
Any fever that lasts longer than 24 hours
-
Swelling or bites that get progressively worse (red, hot, and painful)
-
Any serious burn, or even a minor degree burn on a large part of the body
-
Any complaint related to a serious prior condition.
