    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 March 15, 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. 

  • All requests for refunds must be made in writing. Upon enrollment a $100 administrative fee is non-refundable and will be applied to all cancellations that happen on or before April 30, 2025. (This amount is applied to the total balance if no refund is requested; it is not a separate fee.) 

    There is no refund for cancellations that are requested on or after May 1, 2025. After this date, if a public health (ex: Covid-19) or a natural disaster cancel camp, CPAFC will issue a partial refund. Refund is 20% of paid fee. Cazadero Performing Arts Family Camp suggests considering commercial tuition insurance.
