Each group is fully responsible for its own first aid needs.  User groups are responsible to bring at least one adult with current CPR and First Aid certification from a nationally recognized certifying agency.  We advise every group to bring a first aid kit to treat minor injuries that may occur.  Additionally, all user groups are advised to gather the names and addresses of all participants; emergency contact names and numbers, a list of any person's know allergies or health conditions that may require treatment, restriction or other accommodations while on site. and a signed permission to seek emergency treatment.  Group leadership should keep those records on hand for the duration of the retreat.  Group leaders are expected to report any injuries beyond scratches and minor cuts to the office or stable area.  Accident reports will be provided.

Marmon Valley Farm is in a 911 area.  The local emergency squad will respond to all call, usually in less than 10 minutes.  The closest hospital is Mary Rutan in Bellefontaine and can be reached at 937-592-4015.  We reserve the right to turn away guests who arrive with communicable illnesses (lice, pink eye, etc.).

Exception to First Aid Policy: Farm staff will offer first aid and/or arrange ambulance transportation and care for individuals who become injured while participating in the following camp sponsored activities: horseback riding, challenge course, climbing wall, hayride, barn dance and lake when our staff are life guarding.

Retreat Deposit:
The Group Leader must return a 30% retreat deposit along with a signed copy of the group's user contract within two weeks of receipt of the contract.  Tentative reservations (space held prior to receiving a deposit) will only be held for 15 days without a deposit.  Beyond two weeks, a deposit will only be accepted if room is still available.  Groups returning deposits after the two week period will be charged a $50 processing fee.  Prices are based on a timely return of your deposit.  Due to unforeseeable circumstances, if the applicant's confirmed date needs to be changed, we will transfer the total deposit, within two months of the original confirmed date, to an available date in the same calendar year.  After two months un-transferred deposits will be forfeited.  Cancellation of reservations will result in forfeit of deposit.

Retreat Balance:  
The remaining balance from a retreat contract will be due upon arrival.  Should a group leader bring less than the guaranteed minimum (see contract), the group will still be changed the full amount for those not in attendance.  The balance can be paid by cash, check or credit card.  We accept Visa, Master Card and Discover.
