California Camp

About CRC’s California Camp

Our host, Westmont College, is a private Christian liberal arts institution located in Santa Barbara, California. This partnership offers us the opportunity to expand the variety of camp programs while maintaining the intimacy that has contributed to our success. CRC will occupy only a small section of the campus for dance classes and related activities. Westmont prioritizes student safety with 24/7 campus security, an on-site EMS squad, and a well-lit campus. In addition, we will provide a 24/7 registered nurse on staff. Our dorms and dance spaces will be exclusively for CRC campers and staff.
