You will receive your payment within six weeks of your cancellation if you paid through our online portal. Refunds will be issued in the same manner with which payments are received. If you did not pay through the portal but rather paid your school, please reach out to your group leader for more information regarding cancellations and refunds. If there is an emergency and I need to speak with my child, how can I contact them? You will be able to contact your child on their cell phone or your group leader’s cell phone. If you are unable to reach either of these contacts, call Brightspark Travel’s 24-hour hotline at 800-962-0060.
