We gladly accept gently-used SMALL instruments, such as bowed instruments, guitars, accordions, dulcimers, wind instruments, etc. We have no physical facility, so we have no ability to accept donations of pianos or organs. For those, we suggest contacting colleges or universities with music departments, churches, or summer camp facilities.

Most of our programs are music enrichment programs, and are targeted at people who already know how to play an instrument. We’re currently offering free beginning music classes to low-income children in Live Oak, but those aren’t open to the public. If you are looking for beginning music classes, please check out our Music Teacher Database. Cabrillo College also offers reasonably-priced beginning music instruction that’s available to high school students and adults.

We are extremely flexible when it comes to refunds. We want you to come to camp and have a great time. If you have to cancel your plans to come to camp, we’ll refund your money – period. Just email us and let us know.
