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 17 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 (5th – 12th grade) and ability. Musical offerings include Orchestra, Concert Band, Jazz Ensemble, Piano, and Guitar as well as an All Camp Choir for our Young Musicians and Middle School Sessions. Each week renowned conductors arrive to work with our campers, giving them an experience of a lifetime.
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.
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.
