Here is the contact info. It is something like $165 for Fri-Sun, camping is available at Ft. DeSota State Park for around $20/night...there will be on water clinics, in classroom instructions, social events, and at least one big name in kayaking and maybe more (BCU guys). I pray my car will get me down there from Atlanta as it began hiccuping yesterday. Anyway, the symposium sounds great. Also, you can get some not too terribly updated info by doing a net search for sweetwater kayaks and selecting the page by GASP (gulf area sea paddlers).
