California Camp

About CRC’s California Camp

Our camp’s location in the Santa Ynez Valley, otherwise known as the American Riviera, about an hour North of Santa Barbara, CA. Our host is Dunn School, which is a College Preparatory School set in Los Olivos. With 65 beautiful rolling acres surrounding you, you are sure to be mesmerized with the mountain views.

Accommodations are college dormitory style, sleeping 2 to a room. Each accommodation has a lounge, bath and shower facilities. Counselor supervision provided in each dormitory. Dance classes are held in a spacious gym and several intimate classrooms. We are thrilled to have our own performance stage which is perfect for Showcase Night!

The campus also has a very impressive dining facility which provides three nutritious and abundant meals daily. Your kids will never go hungry at Dunn School. We think the meals were definitely a highlight of the week!

Although this venue does not provide air conditioning in living quarters, campers are permitted to bring small, portable fans. Window fans are not allowed. For those campers who are flying, Camp Rince Ceol will gladly provide a personal fan for a refundable deposit of $5.00. Campers must supply linens and pillows for “college twin” sized mattresses. If you would like more than 2 to a room, please contact the camp office, before June 1.
