For one long weekend each summer, the Sierra Nevada mountains become a hub of surf music creativity. Take in performances by top surf bands, schedule one-on-one lessons with surf greats like John Blair, Paul Johnson and Dusty Watson & spend quality time with family, meet new friends and help to promote and preserve California’s indigenous music – surf!
Get tips on songwriting, recording and performing from instructors! Get real-life experience playing music with fellow campers in Surf Band 101! Get outside with guided hikes, campfire jams, musician-geared exercises/stretches and our annual baseball game!
Our instructors have included Paul Johnson (The Belairs), John Blair (Jon & The Nightriders), Dave Wronski (Slacktone, Jon & The Nightriders), Dusty Watson (Dick Dale, Agent Orange, Slacktone, Jon & The Nightriders) and many more!
Sierra Surf Music Camp 2017 takes place July 6-9 (Thurs-Sun). Download your application now! Have questions? Email camp director Paul at sierrasurfcamp@gmail.com.
"Sierra Surf Camp was created with the idea of spending a weekend with friends, family, and community in the study and appreciation of California’s indigenous folk music: Surf!"
What Our Campers Are Saying
Surf Camp is the most awesome thing on the planet!
I feel as though I got a year’s worth of lessons in one weekend! The willingness of the instructors to share their knowledge was unbelievable.
