Artistry Our priority is to bring a transformative experience through high-quality arts and music instruction to generations of families in a natural setting offline. The creative arts that are taught at camp reflect cultures from around the world. We believe that creativity is the door to learning and personal resilience. We measure our success by the number of personal or artistic “firsts” at camp.

Diversity and Accessibility We strive to create an environment where people of any age, nationality, race or ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, size or disability feel welcomed and nurtured by our community. We work to overcome any barrier that prevents diverse newcomers from joining our Caz community. We strive to make camp more accessible each year with the belief that increased access to Caz will enrich the quality of life on earth.

Community and Family We celebrate the importance of family and embrace newcomers with open arms, believing that family is defined not just by biology or law but also by choice, mutual care and responsibility. We believe that it is crucial that children and youth at our camp feel and are safe, valued, seen, and heard. We aim to provide a cultural experience that can be adopted into family life throughout the year. It is vital that all members of our community feel safe and respected, so we do not tolerate violent, abusive, hurtful language or behavior. 

Global Impact We believe that performing and fine arts work hand in hand to enrich people’s souls and provide them healthier lives as global citizens. We measure our success by the continued growth and engagement of our community and pride ourselves in how many campers we reach and the joy and comfort Caz brings them each year.
