About 1/2 hour south of center-city Philly; within 3 hours drive of Baltimore, DC, NYC, most all points in Jersey, Harrisburg area of PA....
In short very central to the east coast!

Any intel on the hotels yet?

Hotel info should be ready by the end of this week.

I'm working out details with a McIntosh Inn that is just 10 minutes from the camp. As soon as I have the details I will post the rates.

I have some good news on the room rates for the Camp. A McIntosh Inn that is close to the Camp has a weekend special rate for a Friday and Saturday combo.
It is $65 a night. For those coming early the rate for Thursday night is $89.
These rates include their continental breakfast and are for 2 double beds.

The REAL good news is that the McIntosh Inn is right next to a TGI Fridays, a John Harvard Brew House, Lone Star, Olive Garden and Red Lobster Restaurants. NO driving back to the hotel from the bar. Crawling is acceptable.

For those who want to get a jump on the rooms here is the number. 302-479-7900

The WMAA will have a special camp page with lots more details on line shortly.

I did some more negotiating with the McIntosh Inn and got the price down to $59 per night.
That includes Thursday as well, so long as you do the Friday/Saturday special.
I have 10 rooms held for Friday/Saturday and 5 for Thursday. You need to book the room by September 25th to get this rate. Use the group reference # 1500 or tell them the WMAA Camp. I will have all the camp info in a more organized fashion on the WMAA web site soon, but for now I wanted to get the hotel info out.

On the lighter side of what we'll be doing at the camp is Sumo wrestling. Did I say light?
After the banquet, those who wish to participate will don Sumo suits and try to knock their opponents out of the ring. And No sticks. Should be a blast.

Stick fighting Sumo? I could be on to something there.

SAL

If its the sumo suits I'm thinking of, we could probably use just about any blunt weapon we want full contact and not worry about anyone getting hurt...

[Cebu West]

You are thinking of the right suits. They're big, so I guess no one gets the advantage. Should be lots of fun and some good photos for blackmail purposes.

Looking forward to seeing the gang.

I just received a call this weekend from my friend Datu Bong Jornales and he has informed me that he will be attending the camp. He is coming to show his support and to see many of his friends. I look foreword to his participation and the positive attitude that he brings to the Filipino Martial Arts. We will all gain from his presence and support.

Mr. Jornales is really something--that's great!

Any word on what time things will be kicking off on Friday/Shutting down on Sunday?
