Adventure Sports Unlimited (ASU) is an aquatics center that teaches people the fun to play in water. We bring people together, teach them to the best of their abilities, outfit them with gear to fit their potential, arrange adventures to use their new skills, and eat well. It seems only appropriate that when you have a bunch of adventure enthusiasts together at an exotic aquatic environment, after a day of SCUBA diving, that a bit of seafood foraging will result in a wonderful gourmet meal to toast the day.

Family Camp is an opportunity to connect with your loved ones on a spectacular mountain ranch filled with natural wonders and exciting new experiences.

Picture this… your whole family on a beautiful mountain ranch for a fun-filled week of horseback riding, pig slopping, egg gathering, art making, taffy pulling, square dancing, and kicking back on the beach next to our river. Leave your cell phone at home, it won’t work here anyway, and leave the cooking (and cleaning) to us while you and your kids enjoy meals prepared with food that is grown or raised on the Ranch.

Be Natural Music is a Jazz and Rock music school program in Santa Cruz and Cupertino, California, established 1988.

Directed by Matthew Pinck, AKA "yoga Matt" on stage, our school offers private lessons for numerous instruments, Real Rock and Jazz Band classes, workshops, concert performances, and music camps.

At Be Natural Music Summer Camp, kids and teens join a band, compose original music, script music videos, and at the end, record their song in a professional recording studio!  We produce the final music video in high quality and display it on our YouTube channel for everyone to enjoy!

If your child has ever dreamed of performing their original music on stage or starring in their very own music video, check out our summer camps in June and July to turn that dream into a reality.

Two one week sessions in June and July.

Black Oak Wilderness Camps

Relationship with nature grows stronger when it's fostered and encouraged from a younger age. Young explorers will spend their days with instructors who will encourage free exploration as well as guide students through developing that relationship. Kids will hike, garden, learn about plants, make crafts, play nature games, get dirty, have fun, and learn a lot. They will learn especially about reciprocity with nature, planting the initial seeds that will grow into a more ecologically aware generation.

They will share our 90 acre property with groups of different ages and activities to get them excited to learn more. They can watch archery, blacksmithing, survival skills, and advanced crafting. Sign In/Drop Off occurs each day.

Day Camps K - 11

Overnight Camps 6 - 12
