The event was coordinated by the Foundation and the Edmundite Missions. Grandmaster John St. James traveled from Atlanta, Georgia to greet the participants. Additionally, traveling was the team of Masters: SBN David Watson-Jones, SBN Allister Akong, and SBN Laura Lee Sandberg with Mrs. Jean Ann and Samantha Watson-Jones and Jesus Ramos from Atlanta.

Schools from Bogalusa, Louisiana to Columbia South Carolina and all points in between made their annual pilgrimage to Camp ASCCA in Jackson's Gap, Alabama for the Southeastern Region, Atlantic-Pacific Tang Soo Do Federation Black Belt Camp. Grandmaster John St. James and the 12 Masters from the region’s schools provided expert training, motivation, and oversight of the weekend’s activities.
