TRAVEL INSURANCE

AMS recommends that you purchase travel insurance immediately after paying your deposit. This special insurance may cover costs if you are unable to join your program due to personal emergency, personal or family medical reasons, or if a program is canceled for reasons beyond AMS' control. It may also cover evacuation and medical expenses in the result of illness or injury. AMS is not responsible for costs associated with canceled enrollment, programs that cancel for reasons beyond AMS' control, and evacuations from the mountains. Check with your travel agent for more policies. We recommend Travel Guard »
