Rain Policy

The contact person and the Mobile Recreation Supervisor, together, will decide cancellations of mobile recreation units.

  1. In the case of inclement weather before an event on the day of the event, staff will call the contact person before leaving the office and ask them what they would like to do.
  2. If the renting organization wants to cancel the visit, the contact person should call 248.858.0916 during business hours in order to reschedule the visit, based on availability, or cancel and request a full refund. We encourage the renting organization to contact our office as early as posible if they know they will be cancelling.
  • If the renting organization wants to continue the visit, the contact person will be informed that staff will wait at your site for one quarter of the contracted visit. At this point you can either send the staff back to the office at no charge/full refund, or have them stay for the rest of the scheduled visit at full price.
  1. If it begins to rain/storm in the middle of a visit, staff will approach the contact person and find out what they want to do.
  • If the contact person wants staff to leave, a cancellation form will be filled out and you will be asked to sign it.
  • If the contact person wants staff to stay, you will be informed that we do not operate in the rain (excludes dunk tanks). This could damage equipment, cause injuries or cause us not to be ready for the next visit because the equipment is wet. Staff will also not be able to stay later than the scheduled time without approval from the Recreation Supervisor.
  1. Lightning, severe thunderstorms and tornado watches may require immediate cancellations.
