Accommodation
We have arranged for a block of heavily discounted rooms at a local hotel. Please book directly with the hotel at Carlsbad by the Sea Hotel (click on “Do you have a group code?” and enter “christiansurfers”). The group code is valid for 3 days prior to the Gathering and 3 days after the Gathering as well. If you need additional accommodation beyond this window please call the hotel directly.
*Please note there is currently a fee that pops up when you register. The hotel are working to remove this but for now you will need to accept the fee and it will not be charged at check-in.
You may also stay wherever you choose. Airbnb, Booking.com and other avenues are great options to find places to stay in the area.
Delegates
This is a gathering for Christian Surfers leaders, friends and ministry partners. Please check with your National Leader or Regional Coordinator if you are unsure about attending. Others exploring CS as a mission are welcome. We also invite our friends from other surf missions.
