Directions

Jazz Camp WEST will be held at the YMCA Camp Jones Gulch @ 11000 Pescadero Road in La Honda, CA. The camp has 927 wooded acres, an outdoor amphitheater with fabulous acoustics, a beautiful 100 square-foot swimming pool, horseback riding, and miles of hiking trails.

Jones Gulch is 50 miles south of San Francisco on the Pescadero Creek-La Honda Road just south of Highway 84 near Half Moon Bay. It is only 11 miles from the coast and 30 miles from Redwood City.

Travel time from most San Francisco Bay Area communities is approximately 1 1/2 hours and only 1 hour from the S.F. and San Jose airports.

 

Arrival Time

Arrival is between 10am and 11am on Saturday, the first day of camp. Our first meal is an outdoor BBQ at 12:00, so please arrive by 11:00 for registration, so that you will be able to unpack and settle in before lunch.

Room assignments will be given at registration upon arrival.
If you have a specific roommate request, please email info@livingjazz.org

For those staying at Siden Conference Center, come directly to registration at Jazz Camp to pick up your room key. After registration, you will go directly to the conference center to unpack before you return for our first BBQ. If you do not arrive in time to unpack at Siden before lunch, you will have plenty of time later in the day.
