WE LOVE MUSIC CAMP

Experience the Magic of
La Honda Music Camp

There’s a special kind of magic at La Honda Music Camp—an energy that fills the redwoods and connects every camper, counselor, and teacher who passes through.

It’s the magic of

making music together.
The magic of

discovering lifelong friends.
The magic of

sharing a passion that brings people together.

For over six decades, La Honda has been a place where young musicians grow, connect, and create unforgettable memories. Some of our staff have been friends since they were campers over 50 years ago—a true testament to the lasting power of music and the camp experience.

 

La Honda Music Camp
Music. Fun. Friendships. Magic.

ABOUT US

About Us

Helping Musicians Grow Since 1962

Hayward La Honda Music Camp was founded and run by Bay Area music teachers since 1962. Our first meeting was in Yosemite. Organized by David Martin and Ed Krenz, it has been going ever since. Now located in the Santa Cruz Mountains at the Jones Gulch YMCA. Milt Bowerman and his son Marvin Bowerman have been instrumental in keeping the camp going for over 50 years. It has helped spawn countless musical lives. Many alumni have gone on to stellar professional music careers and many have become amazing music educators.
