Once again, Stockton Seaview Hotel and Golf Club, located at 401 South New York Road, Galloway, New Jersey USA, will be the venue for the 2014 USAF Summer Camp beginning Sunday, July 27th and ending Saturday, August 2nd. To accommodate Aikido camp participants and their family and friends, the hotel has blocked off a number of rooms at a discounted rate, including a very limited number of rooms for arrival prior to camp on Saturday, July 26th.

You are encouraged to register for a Camp Package and book your hotel room as soon as possible because of the large turnout expected due to Yamada Sensei’s 50th anniversary celebration. Although you will have to pay in full for your Camp Package at the time of registration, you will not incur charges for your hotel reservation until your actual stay. DEADLINE for registration is Friday, June 20th but the blocked off USAF discounted hotel rooms may be fully occupied prior to the DEADLINE.

We look forward to seeing you at camp!

Sincerely,

Laura Pavlick and Karen De Paola

Children UNDER 12 years stay for free at the hotel but MUST be included in your hotel reservation.

PLEASE NOTE: Hotel reservations made directly with the hotel by phone or through the hotel’s public website are not recognized as a USAF reservation and will not include the discounted rate or breakfast.  All Camp Package hotel room reservations must be made through the USAF-linked hotel reservation portal emailed to you after you register and pay for your Camp Package.

OPTION #2 – Day Participation (Meals are NOT included)

IF YOU ARE NOT PURCHASING OPTION #1 (Camp Package/Hotel), then the “Day Participation Rates” apply (meals are NOT included).  This year you can pay for the number of days you plan on training without committing to specific days of the week (other than Saturday). As a Day Participant, you must arrange for your own accommodations and meals. Several dining options are available at the hotel throughout the day as well as locker rooms and showers. IMPORTANT: Because the USAF’s arrangement with the hotel limits seating and food quantity at each night’s dinner buffet, Day Participants are not able to purchase the USAF dinner buffet or eat dinner with the Aikido group.

Day Participation Rates:  Sunday-Friday Day Passes – $90 for each day   Saturday Day Pass – $40
