multiple session lengths ☆ ojai, ca

Our campers follow their dreams, try incredible new things, and gain lifelong friends and positive role models in a safe and supportive environment.

DRUMS, GUITAR, BASS, VOCALS or KEYS

Our campers have a blast learning an instrument, forming a collaborative band, writing an original song, and performing on stage for the entire camp community. Camper bands can be any genre under the sun! Indie, pop, metal, folk, R&B, funk, blues…whatever your authentic voices are.

Young visionaries learn extensive photography skills such as light and composition while creating a personal portfolio of thematic images based on self directed passions. Campers learn post production skills using editing tools like Photoshop and Lightroom, culminating in a vibrant slideshow set to music to be premiered at our camp showcase.

All campers entering their junior or senior year of high school automatically participate in our LIT program

leaders in training (lit) program

LITs get all the fun of camp, but also learn how to design and lead electives and develop other leadership skills, like public speaking, mentorship, and collaborating on capstone projects. Our young leaders participate daily in their chosen immersives while also taking weekly leadership electives with their own dedicated LIT mentor. LITs also get their own special overnight bonding trip!

Many of our Leaders in Training return as staff members.

“camp was probably the highlight of my entire summer!

The staff was fun, friendly, and helpful, and they and the other campers made me feel like I fit in, even when I didn’t know anyone.”
