More About Camp
Cazadero's Youth Music Camp is a residential co-ed music and performing arts camp for students, grades 5-12. Campers who attend Cazadero come back to school with a renewed commitment to their instruments, improved playing and practicing techniques, and stronger leadership skills that help inspire their peers and build better ensembles at school. The low student to staff ratio (about 5 to 1) gives kids personalized experience with a wide variety of teachers. Students play up to 5 hours per day and have the opportunity to work with top conductors and make lifelong friends. Major ensembles offered are: Concert Band, Jazz Band and Orchestra. Extensive electives in Chamber Music, Jazz, piano, guitar, theatre improv, vocalizations and recreation opportunities are also available. Piano and Guitar programs require auditions.
