FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Howmuch does it cost to rent a facility?

Is insurance required? Yes, insurance is required for all rentals with the exception of private meetings with less than 100 people and picnic shelters with less than 75 people attending. What is your cancellation policy? Cancellations must be made two weeks in advance of booking or 50% of the rental will be charged with the exception of weddings. Cancellations not made at least 48 hours in advance of the bookings will result in the total amount of the rental being charged.

Rentals costs are determined by a variety of variables including size, location, event type etc. Please speak to our booking staff and we can help you find the best fit for your event and budget. Do I need to provide a damage deposit and howmuch is it? Most bookings require a damage deposit which is refundable within two weeks after your event. The amount varies depending on risk factors i.e. a child’s birthday party versus a large scale event with alcohol.

SPORTS TEAM FITNESS TRAINING A personal trainer can create sport specific programs that will help your team increase their flexibility, balance, strength, and focus. Packages available: INDOOR CYCLING FOR ATHLETES - Help your legs feel more flexible and stronger! Indoor cycling is a vigorous workout to cross-train for your sport. Spinning intervals, rolling hills, sprints, climbs, runs, surges and jumps will increase your muscle power and endurance. YOGA FOR ATHLETES - Increase flexibility, balance, strength, focus and dedication - Many athletes practice yoga because of the benefits of increasing flexibility (range of motion around a joint helps prevent injury). Yoga increases the athlete’s ability to stay focused and aids in reducing player anxiety.
