WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AGE FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE THE CLASS?
- The technically is no minimum age. However, I have found kids should be at least 10 years old or older for some of our simpler classes, and 12 or so for some of our longer than 6-hour long classes. The Beach Vacation Experience class can even accommodate children younger, but with close parental supervision and assistance. I find every child is different. However, the factors that help in making your decision are the child's motivation, ability to listen and obey directions, physical size and overall hand/eye coordination with tools, in particular a hammer. I do suggest children be at least 12 years old or older for the (9) & (12) hour introduction to Knife Making Class. However, kids younger than 16 in our traditional classes do need to have a parent with them. Some of the equipment, if used improperly, can be very dangerous. So, it is the parent's responsibility to help their child use the equipment safely. These classes generally are great classes to do with a parent and child together. If a parent and child are doing the class together, both are included in the cost of the class. In other words, both child and parent do not have to each pay if they are taking the class together. If you have any questions about your specific child, please let me know!
GENERAL CLASS INFORMATION
- All equipment is provided.
- No Experience Needed, unless the class information notes otherwise. The majority of the classes are designed for someone with no experience.
- Release of Liability Form / Photograph Waiver must be signed to take the class.
- All Safety Gear, Material, Equipment, etc. is provided. However, a student is more than welcome to bring their own safety gear.
- A loved one is more than welcome to come along and watch if they would like! There is no additional cost is someone is just watching and/or helping.
GIFT CERTIFICATES
- The Gift Certificates do not expire. They can also be transferred to someone else, sold, etc.
- Shortly after purchase, generally within 1-4 days, you will receive an email with a .pdf copy of your Gift Certificate. The email & Gift Certificate will both have information about how to redeem the Gift Certificate. The Gift Certificate will have a unique Coupon Code on the upper right-hand corner. When there is a class available you would like to take, simply sign-up through this website under the Class Sign Up Page. When Checking Out to pay, simply input your unique Coupon Code. If you lose your Coupon Code, no worries! Please just reach out to let me know.
- For Christmas Gift Certificates, I cannot guarantee a particular month. The classes will be first come, first served. I plan to offer enough class offerings for Gift Certificate holders to redeem their GC from January until Summer. However, if you have some special circumstances, such as deploying overseas, major surgery, etc., please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate you.
- Each month a list of available classes will be emailed out. Classes will generally be offered to Gift Certificate holders several days before the classes are offered to the general public for the next several months.
- Here are the typical class offerings and dates:
* (6) Hour Classes - occasionally on various weeknights nights from 6:15pm to 9:15pm, some Saturdays, typically from 9am to 3pm, some Fridays from 1pm to 7pm and various daytime classes as well.
* (9) Hour Classes - typically Saturdays from 8am until 6 or 7pm.
- To make the Gift Certificate giving process a little more extra special, I can provide a small piece of steel to go along with your Gift Certificate. Please let me know so arrangements can be made to pick up the steel piece.
- REFUND POLICY -
* Gift Certificates are non-refundable after (7) days. I completely understand there may be some special circumstances and will work with you the best I can. But again, the Gift Certificates don't expire and can also be reassigned to someone else if need be.
* Class purchases - If a class has been purchased, we do refund 90% of the class purchase price if a cancellation is received in writing 10 days prior to the start of the class. For any cancellations 3-9 days prior to the start of the class, a gift certificate will be issued for a class of the same value for a future date. For cancellations up to 2 days prior to the start of class, a gift certificate will be issued for half of the value of class. No refunds will be issued for no-shows with no prior communication prior to the start of class. I do realize that circumstances do arise that are outside of your control. I do my best to be fair to you and our business both.
