This fee is simply to secure your dates, is non-refundable (unless your dates are already booked and we can’t find an agreeable solution), and is not taken from the balance of your team fees. Booking is on a first come, first serve basis. The third page of this form contains details about registration. Please keep this for your records. If you need additional medical insurance for your trip, please go to umvim.org

Group incentives and Discounts:

• If you bring a group of 15 or more people, one team leader gets 1/2 off their fee!
• If you bring a group of 30 or more, your team leader is FREE!
