Cazadero Music Camp

Cazadero Music Camp Follow Cazadero Music Camp to find out what's happening under the redwoods! Our mission is to inspire a love of music and learning in youth.

Cazadero Music Camp brings the love of music and learning to youth. We provide a nurturing, inspirational environment for young musicians ages 10-18. For nearly 60 years, Cazadero has offered a dynamic music education program that strikes a thoughtful balance between in-depth music education and carefree summer camp fun. Caz is set on 33 acres near the Russian River in Sonoma County where young mu

sicians learn together under a canopy of spectacular redwood trees. Our vision is to bring the transformative Caz experience to as many youth as possible. Combining music and nature in a truly unique setting, young musicians develop a love of music which lasts a lifetime. Our impact is evident in the inspired performances that close each session and the heartfelt evaluations of the young musicians themselves. You can read these evaluations on our Caz Testimonials page here. Our Programs

Cazadero inspires over 1,400 youth each year through two complementary music programs, Summer Music Camp, and JumpStart in Music. Our Summer Music Camp brings together a diverse and talented student body from across the Bay Area and beyond. Campers work closely with skilled Conductors, talented Music Faculty, and a devoted Camp Staff. They discover their love of music, develop their musicianship, gain confidence in their playing, and make lasting friendships. JumpStart in Music is a low-cost, high-impact weekend version of our Summer Music Camp for school and school district music programs. JumpStart brings Bay Area public school students, their music teachers and high school mentors together for a three day, condensed immersion program which produces some remarkable results.

📢 Important Update: Final Concert Cancelled (8/1)

Due to hazardous air quality caused by the nearby Woodside Fire, we cancelled tomorrow’s final performance and said an early farewell to our Junior High session campers.

While we’re heartbroken to miss our final concert together, the safety of our community is always our top priority. Thanks to the swift action, adaptability, and support of our incredible staff, families, and campers, all campers made it home safely! Thank you to the first responders fighting the fire! As you can see, our campers made the very best of their time indoors with games, snacks, and great spirits while waiting for pickup. 🎲🍿😷

Even though our season was cut short by two days, Summer 2026 was packed with unforgettable music, growth, and joy. A massive THANK YOU to our campers, families, staff, conductors, volunteers, donors, alumni, and friends—we couldn’t do this without you! ❤️

📬 What’s Next?

Check your inbox: We’ll be sharing more updates, photos, and highlights from the summer in the coming weeks! Join the mailing list here: https://www.cazadero.org/newsletter-sign-up-form/

Looking ahead: We're already counting down the days until next summer, when we'll be celebrating a huge milestone—the 70th Anniversary of Cazadero! 🎉🎻

Thank you for your ongoing love and support. Please stay safe! 🌲✨
