Our Camp
Sugarloaf is a fine arts camp in the Sierra Nevada mountains, offering a lifetime of friends and education in music, art, drama, photography, video, textiles, and dance. Sugarloaf brings a unique camp experience to the students of El Dorado County. The week-long sessions provide a supportive environment for campers to expand their fine arts skills and to experiment with new ones. The camp location, in the pines of the Sierra Nevada Mountains at an altitude of 3,600 feet allows campers to breathe fresh air while escaping from the hustle, bustle and technology of daily living.
