Welcome to the 2008 California Brazil Camp
a message from the camp directors…
Hello Everyone-
Each year people from around the world gather in the small town of Cazadero, California to experience Brazilian culture firsthand. Some come for the music, some come for the dance, while others come just to relax for a week or two under the canopy of the coastal redwoods and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow Brazilophiles.
Session one is sold out! Places are still available for session two.
