Jam Camp West is an exciting six-day journey designed exclusively for youth ages 10 through 15 from racially, economically, and musically diverse backgrounds. The program, which promotes awareness of the beautiful environment at Redwood Glen and designed for any skill level, is guaranteed to inspire great music, friendships and life long memories. Kids do not need special talents or skills, only a sense of adventure and willingness to try.


Hands-on classes provide exposure to contemporary and diverse cultural trends in jazz, and offer a youth oriented, fun, and extremely creative experience. Jam Camp is geared towards the process, not the outcome. Campers experience a supportive environment where they can try new things, gain inspiration to further their creative endeavors, and find access to mentors and teachers.

Jam Camp also offers a mentor program consisting of counselors and CIT's who have a passion for music, desire to serve as inspiring mentors for our campers, and an interest in becoming a responsible and integral part of the Jam Camp experience.

The camp is held in the exquisite redwood forests of Loma Mar, California, one and a half hours from the Bay Area. Music making and classes take place under the trees, and the wonder of the natural world is integrated into the program through nature hikes and other meaningful outdoor activities.

In this magnificent setting, we hope to provide a truly inspirational experience while building self-reliance, teamwork, a sense of social responsibility, and community with a potentially life-changing opportunity to reconnect with the natural world. Most importantly, we hope to share a joyful six days with our growing Jam Camp West family.

We look forward to sharing this very special adventure with you!
