During the school year, Smith works as a music teacher at Monterey Trail High School in Elk Grove, California. Also in the summer of 2019, Michael Boitz from Saratoga High School, Patrick Langham, Director of Jazz Studies at the University of Pacific and Susanna Peeples, worked as guest conductors for the junior high orchestra. Music faculty/staff Cazadero faculty have been innovative with their instructional methods as they were the first to conceive of a professional baroque chamber orchestra composed entirely of period instruments, resulting in the 1981 creation of the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra by harpsichordist Laurette Goldberg. Programs for Musicians Each summer, the camp hosts educational programs for young musicians, as well as the Cazadero Performing Arts Family Camp where children and adults take arts classes side-by-side. Campers also enjoy 'downtime activities' such as swimming, ping pong, basketball, lanyards, friendship bracelets and foosball. The camp, which sits atop the late 19th century location of the then-infamous Bohemian Grove, maintains a signature suspension bridge over which more than 100,000 young musicians have crossed.
