Cazadero Music Camp provides a nurturing, inspirational environment for young musicians ages 9-18. For more than 65 years, Cazadero has offered a dynamic program that strikes a thoughtful balance between in-depth music education and carefree summer camp fun. Cazadero is set on 33 acres near the Russian River in Sonoma County where young musicians learn together under a canopy of spectacular redwood trees.
We have 5 camp sessions that are arranged progressively in age and ability. Musical offerings include Orchestra, Concert Band, Jazz Ensemble, Piano, and Guitar. Campers in our younger sessions participate in All Camp Choir too. Each week renowned conductors from all over California and the world arrive to work with our campers, giving them an experience of a lifetime. Campers will also have a choice of musical and non-musical electives that may include jazz improvisation, mariachi, chamber music, art & crafts, nature, sports, and more! With no cell phone service, there is minimal access to electronic media.
Our new World Beat ensemble is a fun, exciting program that uses various rhythm instruments and ukulele to teach rhythms and musical concepts. Offered in Young Musicians Session Only. No prior music experience is needed.
Make Caz part of your summer in 2023!
Young Musicians (one week): June 19 – June 24, 2023
Middle School (one or two weeks): June 27 – July 8, 2023
Junior High (two weeks): July 11 – July 22, 2023
High School (two weeks): July 25 – August 5, 2023
Campers participate in camp continuously for the duration of their chosen session. This is an overnight camp.
We have a robust COVID Safety Program which we will continue to adjust based upon the latest public health information, regulatory guidance, and peer best practices. In 2021 and 2022, we ran a complete, in-person, residential summer music camp program no COVID spread and we are working tirelessly to do the same in 2023!
Lodging: Campers sleep under the stars on cots on platform decks in supervised “units” assigned by gender and age.
