We know this is a different start day than usual. These were the best dates available at Camp Navarro, and they let us hold the full program before school starts for many districts in the Bay Area and Southern California. That way more families can join us for one week or both without missing the first days of school.
The Full Two Weeks: July 22 - Aug. 4, 2027
Week 1 : July 22 - July 28, 2027
Week 2 : July 29 - Aug. 4, 2027

Cazadero Performing Arts Family Camp is committed to making our camp programs accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances. This year, we are able to offer full and partial awards, tailored to meet individual needs. We encourage you to consider what portion of the cost you might be able to contribute when applying.
Because our program centers on intergenerational connection through the arts, families with school-aged children, particularly those from systemically overlooked communities, will be prioritized for consideration for full scholarship. We will be using the HHS Poverty Guidelines for 2025 to help determine the need for those who request full scholarships.
Priority deadline for applying for aid is February 1, 2025; all applications received by that date will be considered for aid. After that date, aid may be granted if funds remain.
The first step to applying is to register for camp. Once your registration is submitted, we will send you a scholarship application.
