Cazadero Performing Arts Camp (also known as Caz) is a performing arts camp located in the Sonoma redwoods in Northern California, United States.Burrell, Jackie. (July 15, 2007) Contra Costa Times " [http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-31891260_ITM Harmony among the redwoods; 50 years later, Cazadero camp is still serving up summer musical magic.] " Section: Time Out; Page C3.] Established in 1955 by then Berkeley High School band director Bob Lutt (who eventually was made executive director of the Berkeley Symphony Orchestra), the first campers were a mixture of Berkeley High teens and members of the San Francisco Symphony.

Since 1955, the camp has become a significant influence in every facet of San Francisco Bay Area music, including the San Francisco Symphony, the orchestras for the San Francisco Opera and the San Francisco Ballet, and Tower of Power, an Oakland, California 10-member horn-based soul band formed in 1968. Caz faculty were the first to conceive of a professional baroque chamber orchestra composed entirely of period instruments, resulting in the 1981 creation of the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra by harpsichordist Laurette Goldberg. The camp, which sits atop the late 19th century location of the then-infamous Bohemian Grove, maintains a signature suspension bridge over which more than 100,000 young musicians have crossed.
