Learn, reinforce, and share new music, song, or dance skills
Late-night jam sessions beneath the redwoods of Mendocino, CA
Joyful evening social dances with amazing live bands
A welcoming creative community filled with music day and night
Get ready for a summer experience you’ll never forget—Lark Camp is where music, dance, song, creativity, and community thrives. Whether you’re brand new to the performing arts or have years of experience, you’ll find a welcoming space to learn, explore, and grow at your own pace.
Picture this: music filling the air from morning to night, hands-on workshops led by inspiring teachers, tune sessions, and jams where you can jump in, experiment, and have fun. You’ll discover new styles, build confidence, and connect with people who share your passion for music, dance, and creativity.
And Lark Camp is more than just classes—it’s an unforgettable community. From spontaneous collaborations to late-night jams under the stars, every moment brings connection, joy, and inspiration. You’ll leave not only with new skills, but with lasting friendships and memories that stay with you long after camp ends. As a camper recently told us, “I came for the Balkan music, and stayed for the swing dance.”
Step outside your routine, try something new, and be part of something truly special. Lark Camp 2026 is your place to create, connect, and be inspired.
