    We are not responsible for supervising young children during the lesson. In most cases, our lessons are for children 6 and older unless it's our smash class program. Dan Castles strongly encourages parents to interact with children and the instructor during the lesson program to learn how to use the necessary tools. This way you can bring home the experience once the lesson has ended and you can build together as a family.

    Dan Castles will not be held liable in the event of personal issues related to the sun. Please come prepared for the sun with the proper sunscreen and gear.

    Dan Castles cancellation policy allows you to cancel up to 72 hours prior to the event. If a lesson is cancelled due to weather, you will be refunded in full if you paid for your lesson in advance. All refunds will be the same method of payment received.

    Dan Castles reserves the right to cancel scheduled lessons at our discretion, due to any unforeseen issues that may arise. Lessons would be refunded in the event that Dan Castles has to cancel for any reason.

    You agree that your email will be added to our mailing list for future news announcements and promotions with regards to Create A Castle. Any emails captured will never be sold to a third party service nor abused in anyway.
