And here in the largest encampment of all, just north of Santa Barbara, Calif., within dreaming distance of an enchanted forest and a blue lagoon, 1,030 girls--and seven equal-opportunity boys--have assembled in teams for a $137 four-day summer seminar, jam-packed from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. with such activities as Cheeramids and Styles in Strutting and Meetings with Dorm Mom.
