If you are reading this page, then you're invited to attend the 2010 San Onofre campout. This will be a NATIONAL event, with CS members from around the country gathering in one place for fellowship, training, outreach, and of course surfing. We want to see you there - it's only $35 for the entire weekend, which includes your site and food! In 2009, it was a lot of fun for the CA chapters, and this year they've invited the whole county to attend. Save the date - Sept 4 to 6.
