Because this event will be canceled completely, there are two options for registered campers: a full refund (minus Etix processing fees if purchased online), or a donation to the Tryon Palace Foundation. All donations received from this option will be used for Hurricane Recovery efforts at Tryon Palace.
Campers, who are able, are invited to contact the Tryon Palace Foundation at foundation@tryonpalace.org to discuss their registration options. If you request a refund, we ask that you please have patience with our staff in issuing the refund, as it will take time to process this, as we will need to get the appropriate staff – and their equipment – back online to issue the refund. The Tryon Palace Foundation will contact you once we are back in action and able to issue your refund.
All registered campers will be contacted as soon as staff returns to work to discuss these options, so please don’t worry about this event while you recover from the impacts of Hurricane Florence. The Tryon Palace Foundation wishes you a safe and speedy recovery period, and thanks you for your continued patience and support.
