One-day camp rates range from $199 to $295 per person based on the number of people in the group; the smaller the number, the higher the student-to-instructor ratio and the higher the rates. Two-day camps start at $358 per person. Each participant gets an NWWSC sweatshirt and a goodie bag. The least expensive lodging option is the nearby Hostelling International Seaside. A private room starts at $65 for two people. (Note that the room has a queen-size bed with two bunk beds and a rollout, so it can sleep up to five people at an additional charge.) When: June 23-24, July 21-22, Aug. 26, Sept. 1, 2007. Details: The cheapest surf-camp rates assume that you preregister, which means that you must book and pay for the camp at least 14 days in advance.
