Registration
On-line registration will begin on April 3 for members of New Horizons International Music Association (NHIMA) and on April 10 for non-members.
Check the New Horizons website in March for class schedules and descriptions. The ensembles and classes are intended for people who play woodwind, brass and percussion instruments. The first 50 people to register will be accepted regardless of instrumentation. After that, instrumentation will be a factor. It is very likely that the capacity of the camp and the maximum for some instruments will be reached soon after registration opens. Early registration for NHIMA members will be a big advantage, although there is a chance that it will not be possible to accept all NHIMA applications. |
Cancellation Policy
This is the first New Horizons camp in Quebec. Although a full registration is anticipated, there is always a chance that the camp may be cancelled due to low enrollment. Wait until June 1 for initial enrollment to be completed and then write to Audrey-Kristel Barbeau at [email protected] to check on enrollment before purchasing a nonrefundable air ticket. You may also want to consider trip insurance that provides coverage for cancellation of the event.
If you register for the camp and need to cancel, refunds for the program fee less a $20 processing fee will be made before July 1. After July1, 50% of the program fee will be refunded.
