Any refunds from individual cancellations will be sent to the organizing group, who is responsible for distributing any necessary funds to individual pilgrims. If the group chooses to cancel its pilgrimage in its entirety at any point, the following cancellation fee schedule will apply for all payments made.
Groups of 40 or more will have a dedicated Verso Ministries Pilgrimage Director and local Korean guide. Groups smaller than 40 will share their Pilgrimage Director and local guide with other groups.
