Actually there are a lot more differences in the two day camps vs the single day, hence the price difference. They are:
Two day camp: Available on the school bikes only, BMW S1000's (with four 800's available if you wish to ride one of them). During a two day camp you get 5 classroom sessions and 7 riding sessions of at least 20 minutes. Student to coach ratio is no more than 2:1 and during every riding session you will be followed and lead on track by your coach and then debriefed afterwards. There are less students overall at a two day camp which means that you will be on track with less than 15 students + coaches at a time. Format of the day is classroom, ride, classroom, ride etc.
Also, during a two day camp, all the off track training bikes (Lean/slide bike, brake bike and the No BS bike for the steering drill) are available for use depending on the track and weather conditions. You will also get to ride the camera bike once per day, have your video reviewed by a qualified coach and receive a DVD of both your camera bike riding sessions at the end of the school. Lunch, snacks, tea, coffee and water are all provided.
Single Day School: You can use one of the school bikes or bring your own bike. There are 5 classroom sessions and 5 riding sessions of at least 20 minutes. Student to coach ratio is no more than 3:1 and same as the camp you are lead and followed by your coach each session out and then debriefed after. Format for the day is Classroom, ride, break, classroom, ride, break.
At a single school depending on the level you are taking you can do one of the off track bikes. Level one is the steering drill (No BS bike), level 2 the Lean Bike, level three gets a video review session and level four can ride the slide bike. There is no camera bike available in a single day school. There are more students total during a single day so you are on track with more riders at a time, no more than 22 I think at a time.
Both options will give you an incredible experience and will improve your riding tremendously but you do get more value during the two day camp and a lot more one on coaching and off track training.
The Superbike School is amazing and you will have one of the best days of your life along with learning some very very valuable skills. The school is also designed in such a way that you learn a new technique and then go right out on track with a coach to practice that specific technique before moving onto something else so there is little chance that you will feel overwhelmed. The coaches make sure to work carefully with each student to make sure that they feel comfortable.
The good thing about doing a school before you do a regular track day is that you will learn the proper skills right off the bat and reduce your chances of crashing (which costs time and money) and reduces the chance that you will have to unlearn any bad habits when you finally do make the school.
I've been a coach with them for the past 8 years and have also taken all four levels as a student so let me know if you have any specific questions.
