The 2023 Summer Program will offer workshops for all ages and abilities on our picturesque mountain campus. The tradition of gathering an impassioned community of artists during the summer months in Idyllwild dates back over seven decades and has served generations of musicians, painters, writers and performers in a variety of disciplines including dance and theatre. Join us in discovering the magic of an Idyllwild Arts summer, and explore your creativity in an inspiring setting with an enthusiastic community of students, faculty and staff. Residential options exist for adults and students aged 10 and up.

What COVID-19 safety regulations will be in place for Summer 2023?
The current circumstances regarding Covid-19 are ever-changing and best practices for safety are constantly evolving. The following guidelines have been used in past years to keep our community safe. Guidance from state and local authorities will determine actual policies for the upcoming summer season.
We ask that students start exercising increased precautions (stay at home as much as possible, wear masks in public spaces, increased hygiene practices) two weeks before arriving on campus, and to continue to exercise as many precautions as possible while traveling to Idyllwild. Depending on the situation during the current summer, safety regulations may include:
- Requiring students to provide COVID test results immediately upon arrival on campus.
- Holding smaller classes in well-ventilated or outdoor spaces.
- Change from 3 students per dorm room to 2 students per dorm room.
- Staggering Dining Hall meal times to accommodate smaller groups of students at a time.
- Daily Health Symptom screenings.
- Social distancing rules and wearing masks while in indoor spaces.
Will Family Camp be returning in 2023?
We are excited to announce that Family Camp will be returning during the last week of June 2023!
