Humm. Do they do online students?  A bit far to commute from Texas.

Nope , brick and mortar. They are summer classes that last a week to two weeks. When I was going through the program there allot of retirees would come for a class or two. A few spent almost the entire summer

Entire summer? 

 

Heck with that, do they rent apartments by the year?

You can stay in the dorms, allot of people use campers or rent a cabin. It’s all about how many classes you want to take. One week or all of them. Susanville is actually a pretty scenic area in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Even close to Reno if you want to gamble or see a show

Can't see prices, even when clicking on "Cost!"

There’s a phone number on this form that you have to fill out to be accepted before you can register. I’m sure they can get you a price list. When I was there in the late 80’s it was substantially cheaper for a CA residents. They just released this schedule a couple of days ago.

All the classes say they are 1 or 2 units. The last time I was in college it was always a credit hour, but I’m guessing it’s a standard price. One for residents and another for non residents like any college 

I didn’t even see a cost link so I guess you got further than I did

Also there are 4 different schools that offer NRA summer programs if one of the other 3 has a class that you would want or their location suits you better

I saw the phone number, but for some reason they didn't answer at 10:00 on a Saturday!

 

The college in Oklahoma charges $300 for a 1-week class. Pretty reasonable, the cost of travel/lodging/food would be far more. Doubt if I do it, but an interesting idea.

It would only be for a week or two. Lassen County really is a pretty sweet place to visit in the Sierra Nevadas. And it’s not really like the majority of the places in CA. 
I was just looking at Montgomery CC, they look to have a good summer program, and some star power. Hamilton Bowen teaches the Ruger SA class. They also have Irv Stone from Bar-Sto teaching a pistol barreling class

Yes, but it is like being hit by a skunk, it takes a long time after you escape to get the stink out.

I’m honestly surprised there isn’t a email address. The NRA summer school always used to have a coordinator that was in charge of the whole shindig
