Where do I sleep if I choose the day camper option?

The day camp option was designed for local participants and/or student-athletes whose family want to come enjoy a vacation to San Luis Obispo as well. Some day campers will attend camp from 8am-4pm and then return home for dinner while others will enjoy the rest of the evening with their family and join them in the hotel/AirBNB overnight.
