We start our camp with the assumption that it will be 50% gi and 50% without gi. But since we are a small group we usually favor what the majority of the group wants to work on. Our instructors and others are often available after session for extra work also. We usually do at least 16 hours of mat time as a group and this year it will be more!

This is one of the waterfalls we visited on a night hike and another time during the day a few years back.
